Wanted: small womans bike/frame

it's my girlfriends birthday in june and I want to build/buy her a bike like the good boyfriend I am. She is a bit of a novice and only 5' 3''so something small and classic looking would be nice. So I'm looking to start with a frame or if anyone has a compleat bike I can do whatever works required to brig it back up to standard. If anyone can help please let me know because I have no back up ideas so it's do or die.

cheers Mike

My lady has just decided to upgrade from her starter bike after a long spell of not riding since a teenager.

It is a very tidy Step-Through ladies bike complete with New Tyres, Guards, Rack, Lights and even Reflective strip tyres which are brilliant for a late night wobble back from the pub!

She originally had it with a Sweep-back bar but decided she wanted Drops so two months ago we popped on some drops, new levers and some fresh tape and it has been ridden once since!

The seattube measures 50cm from C-T.

Overall just a tidy bike that needs very little messing with at all.

As for a Price I am thinking £135 delivered.

Have a look at

to make it birthday ready it could do with new tires and bar tape. Or else start with just the frame and fork.

Hi,

Maybe this will win your ladies affections - I offered it to mine she didn't like the riding position and so I am tarting up an old amsterdam for her.

I think it is from the mid 70's - it is super light has a super maxy crank mavic rims, normandy hubs, mafac racer brakes huret derailleur and is super super shiny with hardly a mark on the frame.

It looks better with a black seat (I have the original) unfortunately the only work needed is a new inner tube at the front.

I have a few other frames of the same era - the bike is in france but will be in the UK in 2weeks I'm looking at 240 delivered or a frame 70 delivered.

Equally if you have kit you could trade in return I'm starting my first attempt at a fixie next month so anything which may help me on my way would be warmly received!
