Specialized Dolce women's road bike in XS, which I'm in the process of converting this to flat bars for my daughter (aged 11). Not too much left - just the shifter, cassette, chain and cabling to do.
I've donated it a few nice parts from the garage - a lightweight Cosine wheelset and happily enough despite the fact the frame must be at least 10 years old (although almost unused!) it still has clearance for the 32mm Pirelli P Zero tyres that were on the wheels. It will be a 1 x 11 drivetrain with XT rear mech, SLX cassette/chain, Deore shifter and the neat little 155mm Goldix crank from AliExpress. New Tiagra flat bar brake levers with 105 brakes. The size is perfect and I'm pleased with how it's going so far.
