My son's girlfriend would like a bike. I think I overheard her expressing a preference for an old fashioned looking one with thin pipes and curly handlebars. I think a 21 inch frame would be her size just going by the fact that she is about the same height as my daughter. Any suggestions about where best to look?

If I were you I'd get her to try some for size and feel - it'll save any awkwardness and zero usage if you make any assumptions. It's as personal as buying clothing for others.

So it sounds as though she wants a retro looking road bike, possibly thinner steel tubes with drop (curly) handlebars.
What is your budget?
A geared bike or single speed?
How tall is she?

I need to ask - what has being a 'pharmacist' got to do with it?
Sorry just trying to get the hang of this. She's a pharmacist but her mum is a librarian. Both have that librarian/pharmacist look in a good way. So nothing to do with it really apart from the style thing.
