You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
Looking to buy my wife a new bike. She is currently riding a Specialised Myka which was bought new prior to 2010.
I've been in touch with Bird and they have suggested a Zero TR in XS size (she is only 5ft2, inside leg 29inches). We would have to buy without trying the bike, which is a bit of a concern, as were arent local to Bird HQ.
Are there any other HT bikes that we should consider. Budget is around £1k. As with the Bird, it doesnt need to be a 'female geometry' frame.
Have a read of this recent thread, it should give you some ideas:
