I've been promising the missus a nice bike for ages, so I'd better get round to it! She's not a cyclist, so wants something nice and comfortable for short, leisurely rides and nothing more.
So I want a mixte type frame, preferably of decent quality. She wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a gas-pipe frame or one made of 753, but I would!
Something with standard BB, headset, seatpost and OLN dimensions - nothing with weird proprietary threads or anything like that (Raleigh?)
Can anyone recommend me a make to look out for, or which ones to avoid?
I have a feeling gazelle do some good ones, but I'm not sure - I might just be imagining it!
Thanks, Andy
