Photos, please. How does the Clementine do on loose dirt? I mean less the tire capacity than the tendency, or lack, of the front wheel to wash out.
Perhaps my daughter would be more interested in cycling if she had one of those -- she has a lower end Trek or something else equally generic. Our riding area is largely irrigation ditch roads -- not to bad in cooler and wetter weather, but as the temperatures get higher and drier, the surfaces are again starting to pulverize, or perhaps to be comminuted, and sections that were reasonably comfortable on the Elk Passes in past months now need at least 50 mm tires for riding to be fun.
