Hoping someone can offer some good advice for picking up a decent road bike for my wife.
She's done some leisure cycling before, mainly on a hybrid or MTB but has now got a place in Ride London so needs to up the frequency and mileage.
She's 5'2" with an inside leg of about 29". I was looking at getting the Triban 3 in a 51" frame but the fact it has 650 wheels is putting me off. I'm a proud member of the T3 club and did last years Ride London on it so do like the bike and the price certainly suits, but the wheel size bugs me. Is that rational?
Also considering a Carrea TDF but thought of buying from Halfords leaves me cold.
Not a lot of spare money floating about so limited to around £350 maximum for a budget. Can anyone offer any good suggestions? Are there any hidden gems out there for the ladies?
Thanks
