Built this bike for the gf. Goal was to maximize the chance that she'd use it as much as possible, by making it as pretty and comfy as I could, hence the easy gearing/upright position/oversized tires. Took around 6mos. to gather all the parts, then a few days to rattlecan it and put it all together, all just in time for her bday. She loves it, so hopefully she'll ride the hell out of it!!
