A mate's looking to buy a bike that she can use for commuting and possibly some very light cafe pootling/touring. She is fairly petite and thinks she'd find smaller wheels more manageable. I agree.
This might be asking a bit much, but any recommendations for a cheap-ish, preferably aluminium, hybrid/tourer, preferably with 26" wheels?
The sort of thing with clearance for squishy tyres, mudguards, plenty of rack mounts, that sort of thing.
Before everyone (quite rightly) shouts "old MTB", are there many alu options for that sort of thing? She'll need to be able to carry the thing up loads of stairs.
