I'm bored today (only 3 emails so far) so thought I'd set you all a challenge:
My wife is about 5' 1" and slender. I sold her men's MTB on Eblag because it was too long for her and was giving her neck and shoulder pains so we need to replace it.
She doesn't want a balls-out MTB or a proper road bike but thinks a hybrid might do the job of being reasonably fast on road with the occasional light off-road trip thrown in. She wants comfort, plenty of gears and suspension forks because bumpy trails make her arms twitch!
Budget is around £400-500. I would prefer her to have a steel frame because I think ali is too harsh. Definitely not a step-through frame! No preference on groupset. We don't want anything too heavy either, being light she's easy on wheels etc.
Any suggestions?
