Ladies Bike- this any good?

[CMAC]

Saw this on Groupon today, SWMBO likes this old style so question is to any Bike experts is, is this any good or is there similar and better out there for a lower price?

Thanks

To be honest anything you buy for that price range is going to be about the same quality. Plus points for that one are that it has an alloy frame and fork, so will be light and won't rust, likewise the whells. The components are all going to be bottom end tat, but if she only wants it for popping out to the shops or pottering around the lanes then it will be quite adequate. Just keep everything well oiled (WD40 or GT85) and it should stay in decent condition.

It's decent enough for the money. If you spend a bit more you'll be able to get something similar with 18/20 gears in case there are any hills in your area. For flat riding though it should be perfectly OK.

Personally, I'd buy her one of these then 'borrow' it back

I'd get that in a heartbeat, but no basket so dealbreaker

Look at the 'princess' range. Like that but top quality and a bit expensive.

looks like the one ERROL FLYNN used to gives girls a lift home on the cross bar.

Those kinda things sure fine for pootling about on, with some sensible maintainance they last well enough

I personally bought my wife a specialized bike years ago, £250 still going strong today, more than I can say for my 3.5k downhill bike, where the brake calipers have rusted :rofl: doh!

very common in France and Spain, I was there recently and saw Nicol going to the bakers daily on one, her short floral print dress billowing in the wind revealing flashes of silky thigh, while her long curly dark hair flapped behind her like a flag, a big smile on her face as she raced to see papa for her early morning croissant and coffee.......................

I had a 'watch' on ebay for bikes close by and under a certain price,

Got a bargain after les than 3 months - £175 bike for 60 bin! Perfect for what I want.

It's 'less' not 'les'.

Sharing my sister's newest baby. Her boyfriend bought her Kestrel Talon Tri Shimano 105 Bicycle as anniversary gift. This is an absolutely incredible bike. Super fast, super light, sturdy and agile. This is my first tri bike and I noticed the difference on the first ride with faster time and greater comfort. I'd recommend this bike to all if you're looking for a badass entry-level tri bike.

Try looking at decathlon, the btwin bikes there are very good and reasonable.
