Come on boys do your homework no Canyons in stock 😉

She does not want a black bike would prefer white or some girlie colour!

Which is why the Trek is ideal - girlie, but not pink. My daughter loves hers.

Hi, I have a womens specific Cube bike for sale, never been used, stupidly bought the wrong size. Its red and white and is a Cube Axial Pro womens version, size 52cm.

I recently went through the same exercise for Mrs M for a bike in that size. The first thing is that for the smaller stature lady you probably do want a women's specific bike as compared to a man's bike it will have a shorter top tube, shorter stem, non-layback seatpost, narrower bars, short reach brakes, and the right colours.

We narrowed it down to the Specialized Dolce, Trek Lexa, Scott Contessa, Giant Avail and Merida Ride Lite. Unfortunately very few around but we were lucky and picked up a S/H Merida in perfect condition.
