• Trying to sort a friend with a new bike - she's 5'2" and has never had one that fits properly before. Can anyone help?

    Primarily for London, but will be used on longer day rides and the occasional overnight camp.
    Ideally she wants a flat bar but is potentially open to drops (is looking at a Genesis CdA currently).
    Needs to have at least rear rack mounts as will be used with panniers.
    Aesthetically she's really keen on a more traditional tubing style, so ideally steel but essentially nothing too oversized/bendy.

    Budget around £650

    Does anyone have anything that might be suitable?
    Or advice on smaller bikes and where to look?

    Any help gratefully received.
