Looking for a fast commuter / audax / winter / whatever you want to call it bike for Karina (other half).
Cyclescheme so up to £800 (she wants to buy a new Exposure Strada to go with it).
All the mainstream manufacturers do women specific bikes(shorter top tube, smaller bars, short reach brakes, womens saddle and styling), but none of them seem to have deep drop brakes / clearance and eyelets to take full length guards.
I'm guessing the only option is going to be a 'custom' build - a Ribble or a Kinesis etc with 'women's bits' on it? (She's tall - 5'10 so size won't be an issue)?
