I’m looking for an useful tips in getting a better frame for my significant other. She has a nice little hardtail at the moment, but It’s a bit on the heavy side. I’ve gradually upgraded most components as they’ve filtered down from my bikes, so it is well specced with light components, if a little older.
I’m interested in either a racily light hardtail, or a similarly oriented short-travel full suss. I’m fairly familiar with the female-specific models around; something like a SC Juliana or a Scott Spark Contessa would be ideal, but it doesn’t have to be female-specific. As long it was about a 15in frame, with a top tube of around 20inches, it can be engineered.
Any suggestions? Birthday coming up! 😯
