I'm looking to get my wife a new hardtail with a budget of around £800ish. She's 5'2 so I've been looking at womens specific frames - I've been distinctly unimpressed with spec at that price point with the notable exception of the somewhat oddly named Duchess from Rose:

which seems almost too good to be true...
Has anyone got one of these? How do they ride?
Any comments on the geometry or other downsides I may have missed? She'll be mostly riding XC around the South Downs.
Here's the link actually working:

If no one's got a Duchess does anyone have any experience of any Rose bikes? BM seems to have mixed reviews - frames might be a bit stiff?
Hi, I've got a 2011 Granite Chief. Really happy with it. Appreciate that it's a bit different to the Duchess 😀
Thanks - that's good to know.
Anyone got a Rose hardtail?
