After talking with Riv, and understanding that the "envelope" is pushable on the upper end more than the lower end (a bigger person can ride a smaller frame) because it's got the high head tube, we're going with 3 mediums and two smalls. That puts the sizing spot on for our current oldest two in a small, the medium for my wife, and then we'll see who gets what when full growth is achieved. Grin.
Two of the folks for whom I'm building them "immediately" have old Trek MTB's and a lot of those parts will transfer initially and we'll replace them as needed (including wheels to the small frames! That will help the budget!). The builds will likely all be very similar: rear racks, wide doubles (triples initially) without FD, Albatross bars (that's what we have on their bikes now), and an agressivish all-rounder tire like the Smart Sams. Individuality will come out with baggage and bar tape initially. But you are right, Tony, over time their individual preferences will be interesting to watch.
