Small win against a rare disease

My 9yo daughter has a rare bone disease that mostly impacts her hands in terms of pain and grip strength, due to this she struggled with bikes in the past despite always wanting to ride. Being a keen cyclist and keener Dad I set about trying find the best bike she could ride and I present the adapted Liv Roam in an XS.

At 145cm tall she's too short for many adult bikes but I have cut the seatpost with a slim saddle to get the seat height as low as possible. Here was the rationale:

– 700c wheels with big tyres to reduce bumps and vibration

– front hybrid suspension to reduce impact and vibration

– hydraulic disc brakes to reduce required braking force and handed strength

– a short stem and very high stack to create a more "dutch" position reducing weight on the hands.

As she gets more confident I'll explore electronic shifting but for now she's not learnt how to use gears so I can set it accordingly. Obviously there won't be any serious offroad riding but its another step towards a normal childhood.
