Gracie has her first adult bike. I bought her a 2014 Giant Tempt 5, which was
new but somewhat reduced since it’s last year’s model. Seems to work great. It
has 27.5 wheels but an Adult Small frame. Went to a good bike shop nearby, and
they measured her and had her test drive some bikes. This one seems to be
excellent. Was surprised to learn it’s American made, or at least marketed by a
U.S. company. (I’m often skeptical of “American made” claims.)
Here’s a truly awful phone pic in bad light with Grace squinting:-)

Skepticism is justified. They're manufactured in Taiwan.

I don't know if any "standard" bicycles are still manufactured in the
USA, but there are LOTS of manufacturers who will build you a custom bike.
Still, it's a good bike & I hope she gets a lot of use out of it.
