1885 High Wall or 1874 Sharps?

[Cody Smith]

My young daughter wants a bicycle and of course I am hesitant to buy her one if she may not really like bicycling. I found a Italian made one with square wheels. It is only about 2/3 the price of a really good one. I figure if she rides it and likes it, then I can upgrade the wheels, then possible the brakes, seat, handle bars, and frame later. If she doesn't like it, I probably won't be able to resell it, but I won't have to pony up quite as much dough as a good one would cost. What do you think guys? Good plan??
