Horrible name, because if anyone should be riding these bikes it is boys, but it was dubbed during a time when dresses were more common and lower top tubes made more sense.

	As far as sizing goes, imagine where a boy's top tube '''would be''' on a girl's bike frame, that is what you use to determine the correct size.		As far as sizing goes, imagine where a boy's top tube '''would be''' on a girl's bike frame, that is what you use to determine the correct size.

			The first and most basic step is to pick the right size frame, and that is done by standing over the bike, aka ''stand over height''.

			== Stand Over Height ==

			Standing over the top tube, lift the bike evenly off the ground by the seat and handlebars. You should have an inch before it touches '''anything'''. More than an inch and the frame is too small, less than an inch and the frame is too big.
