Women's hybrid

Currently have a Whyte Carnaby. Love it and the only thing I would change would be a slightly lower bar at the top. Quite like the look of the

or the https://www.decathlon.co.uk/p/hopri...ame-city-bike/_/R-p-300898?mc=8405485&c=BLACK
Preferably no more than £900 with mudguards & pannier rack. Can't use cycle to work scheme :-( even though I use it to cycle to work.

Those will both be pretty heavy compared to the Carnaby. The first is 16.9kg and the second is 19.3!!
Why are you looking at bikes with suspension?
Is it just the step through aspect you’re seeking to change? If so, maybe look at the Trek stagger range, eg this equipped fx3

Or if you prefer a brighter colour and happy to just get the LBS to add rack and mudguards

I was also going to question the need for suspension. It adds weight to the bike and is not really necessary for riding on the road and gentle off roading.

 

[speedy gonzalez]

Wasn't really after suspension. Those two just happened to have it.
The Carnaby has Schwalbe puncture resistant tyres fitted which has already added some weight but way no punctures!
There's just so many bikes to look at and I knew asking on here I'd get some excellent suggestions.
Love those two Vickster.

Not compared the specs but Specialized have a Sirrus step through as an alternative, in a rather fetching orange

or turquoise, possibly other colours too

The Trek will be a higher spec given the higher price

If you dont mind paying less! the Dawes 201 is a great bike Dawes Discovery 201 Low Step - Bikes from Tandem Group Cycles UK (tgc.bike) and dont mind rim brakes. I must have done nearly 2k on mine and really like it, the 201 also has an 'equipped' version with rack/mudguards etc this has a triple chain ring, i prefer the single chain ring version. Happy shopping

Thanks all. Some great suggestions there. Think I'm going for one of the Treks. Quite happy with any colour!
