My friend Ronnie (pictured in the attached photos) pre-ordered the frame but it fits my daughter so we picked it up yesterday (after test riding some Hillibikes) and built it quick. Thanks for all the help with used parts from this group!

For everyone who poo pooed the baby bike the precious pictures of you and your daughter show how valuable it is. The minute I hear about the arrival of grandchildren someday I will hunt one of these down for the short window of front seat carrying I can do.
No better way to transport and start a child off developing a love of riding IMHO.
The ability to brake and stand comfortably between seat and child seat is what makes this ideal.
Thank you Grant and RBW for continuing your 1 offs that serve a crucial riding purpose. (Also love my Hubbuhubbuh).

Sincerely,
Ryan Hankinson

Agree with you on all that ... though these photos are of my daughter with my friend Ronnie on the bike. He has the pics of me with baby on board, but I don’t have copies yet.

My daughter kept saying “more” every time we stopped for even a moment. Great!
