My dear father has decided he wants to get out riding more (he's on my old saracen Kili team / pro) and therefore wants to get my dearest mother out as well.
The task of find something suitable is thus left to me – "You can build her something reasonable cheap out of parts can't you…" (he seems to have ignored the credit card / massive debt problems I have got myself in to through the medium of bikes)
I imagine its mostly going to be canal / railway walk type stuff so i imagine a hybrid will be best. 5'4" ish sub 10st. Any old/last seasons bargains out there – nothing too fancy – hybrid with a few mm of front suspension and a couple of gears (considering how much she complained about the 7speed she was on last as "its got too many gears I dont know what to do with them"
Help appreciated.
