So, mum wants a new bike. She goes on tons of bike tours, and her use case 100% fits gravel/bikepacking. BUT she doesnt like drop bars, and wants a "ladies bike" with a low step-over frame. Not a huge budget, but want to build her something light and reliable that gets her streetcred :D
If I can convince her of a normal step over height, then an older alu cyclocross frame with a flat bar would work, otherwise what do you guys think of a hardtail MTB frame with a carbon rigid fork (with correct stack height)?
...or should I just get her an arkose?
