Hello,
So Miss Pioneer and I are trying to build up a new bike for her.
Ideally we're aiming for something lightweight and pretty, I live up 4 flights of stairs.
a bit like this
however all the ladies bikes I find on ebay seem to either have straight top tubes, and look butt ugly, or be very pretty but weigh 10 tonnes.
Can anyone point us in the direction of a ladies frame/bike, (curved top tube) which would be made of non-plumbers tubing? I guess we're aiming for something with the styling of a dutch bike but with the weight and ease of a fixed/single speed
like this I guess but something we can build up ourselves?
any ideas?
what searches should I be putting in ebay? anyone have something for sale?
