• Looking to build up a bike that my partner and we can use for child transporting duties. Specifically looking for a step through frame that is as lightweight as possible. Not interested in steel, so most likely Alu. Any recommendations? I’m sure something must exist that’s functional and lightweight . Thinking along the lines of Pinnacle Neon, Marin Fairfax, Sirius etc, but no idea how much the frames weigh. Hard to go off full build weights as the stock spec tends to be a bit more basic. Maybe even an Arkose but not sure if the top tube slopes that much ?

    Guess I’m looking for a medium frame sub 2kg, (ideally around 1.5kg) with a lightweight fork

    Must haves :

    Step through or very compact geometry
    Disc brake ideally flat mount
    Alu or carbon fork
    Rack and mudguard mounts
    Clearance for 35mm tyres & guards

    Cheers

  • So far Trek FX looks like a contender with a carbon fork
