Looking for a bike for a 70-year-old 5'1" female.
She currently has a 26" Schwinn. Now it seems the frame is too big and the bike weight is becoming difficult. We bike between 5 to 15 miles on paved trails.
I am considering a 24" 15" aluminum frame step-thru bike.
It is difficult in locating the 24" bike. One question concerns purchasing a 15" aluminum frame bike with 700C tires. Would this bike be similar in handling even though the wheels are larger in diameter?
What would benefit more a 24" or the 700C with a small 15" frame?
Any recommendations for bikes under $500.00 would be appreciated.
