I'm looking to replace my wife's bike as it's getting very worn out and the cost to replace all the parts is uneconomic.
Her requirements are fairly modest.
She likes a fairly upright riding position, step through frame and wants a 26" wheel.
Her existing bike was a Dawes mtb with a cheap suspension fork. To get the ride height I fitted a longer stem.
Everything we look at with a 26" wheel comes with an Ahead stem, meaning height adjustment is very limited.
Our riding is half over farm tracks and the rest on minor roads. We rarely do more than 40 miles and at a leisurely pace.
To add another complexity our budget is around £800 max.
If anyone knows of a bike that fits the bill I'd be very grateful.
