@mister_k:
Yeah, it's frickin heavy.
But she insisted to have a bike that was low enough for her to touch the ground, and the shopping basket on the front was the biggest incentive. Also, is it just me or is the Sturmey Archer on a really heavy gear by default, even in the lowest gear? Might get her a larger rear cog fitted when I get the gear service done (which it needs, that bike) ...
So what are the factors for stability then? Larger wheels? Or is it just a weight issue?
What kind of frame did U get for your g/f? I know anything but a stepthrough will not even be considered ...
