my wife has decided she wants a road bike and has set her heart on doing things like the glasgow to edinburgh ride and the graeme obree sportif
if it was a mountainbike she wanted i would know where to start but with road bikes im pretty clueless. the other problem is she want it cheap, im talking like £450 and that doesnt seem remotely possibly with a road bike.
is there any way for me to source or build up a cheap bike that will be a bit more 'woo' than something like a giant avail 4. she is 5'4" so im presuming she needs around a 52cm frame. my idea of building something ground to a halt when i scoured the net and decided there is no such thing as a dirty cheap ladies road frame. second hand ladies road bikes seem a bit thin on the ground too.
cheers.
