Ladies Mountain bike

[chrisv40]

Just had a very frustating day trying to find a new bike for my Mrs, she found one she really liked in Halfords but the staff couldnt be arsed to even talk to us let alone sell us a bike :roll:
On the way home we stopped in a local village at a guys house who sells second hand bikes and she found a second hand raleigh which needed work.
I pointed a few things out to the seller and he told us to leave it and stormed off into the house with the bike

Anyway I thought I might have more luck here, it has to be a step through frame, other than that not too fussy.

Colour will probably decide it

Just reread that thread title. Does it **have** to be a mountain bike?

 

[orange71]

I don't get step-through - do women still ride in skirts?

 

[chrisv40]

No but she doesnt like having a crossbar

And if its not a MTB then possibly a hybrid.

 

[barry2017]

This?

Reynolds 531 framed Hercules? I could provide it as a frame or built, with aincient parts or modern.

 

[chrisv40]

Thanks Chris but need someting much more modern than that

 

[barry2017]

Lighter and better than what you'll get in H*lfords! I could give it 24speed LX if you want.

Alright me old cocker! I'm building a couple of lady bikes for my mum and mum in law, I've been looking for a cool lady frame for some time now and I've found a shop in Germany that sell what looks to be a fairly decent Ali frame.
