The wife has expressed a preference for a bicycle along these lines from the olden days.
I fear it may weigh a ton. It wouldn't see anything more strenuous than a towpath, but can anyone suggest anything else along those lines?
Requirements are that it isn't complicated ("I can't work gears") and preferably a basket.
This is not a piss take either.
Spesh/Globe do a nice one. Daily is the name, I think.
Yep, here it is;
the dawes diploma is a very tidy bit of stuff solf a few with very happy customers.
Dutch bikes are about as upright and traditional as you can get
They're all the right sort of thing, thank you.
It makes me a bit suspicious that none of them tell you the weight! Get what you pay for I suppose.
I've got the Gentleman's Globe Daily 1 (yes I know, I know) that CFH has mentioned...
It's ace, and you can get a bottle of wine and a takeaway in the basket - which is more than I can say for some of the carbon monstrosities I've pottered around on in the past.

Daily One is a very nice bike - looked at one for my mum - in the end bought her an Ridgeback Avenida 3 Womens..
Specialized/Globe is a nicer looking bike but got a better deal on the Ridgeback and the riding position is more upright which my mum liked
also got her one of these:

That Globe one is looking promising. Thankyou for all the suggestions.

Crap old GT Talera off of Ebay

into sensible wife bike
not that it gets used much ;-(
if I built another would def fit hub gears
Buy an old heavy one. They will be alot cheaper. We found this one on the side of the road with a note saying free to a good home. Couple of new tubes and a service and its good as new:
Note: Its not mine i was just test riding... my other half let me.

Raleigh or Zoom 'North Roads'

GlobeThis is a little confusing, as the spec regarding gears (or not) doesn't seem to tally up with the pictures. Or am I being dull?
it is def a 3 speed Nexus hub gear - when researching for my mum I email big S.. there is also one in the Concept store near me
you can also flip flop the stem to get a more upright riding position
That Mixte looks cool.
Think there is one near me.
