Current Projects chat and miscellany

Start by persuading her to ride a conventional diamond frame, not a ladies bike. 178cm is nice and tall for a girl, so there will plenty of choice of frames. Maybe something like a Giant FCR if you want light, basically a road bike with flat bars.

I tried! - Bikes with conventional frames looks a lot better aswell.

However, she wants something that looks like an old Raleigh Caprice, I just haven't been able to see one IRL, so I could see if its light enough.
