bikemonster Posted January 20, 2011 Share no bikemonster...stay focused :-) ...was worth a try. Brand specifics: I've been very pleased with my Scott CR1 which I've had for the last 4 years or so, and have no inclination to change anytime soon. But really, get your friend to look at lots of bikes. When she finds one that moistens the tufty clump, that's the right one. You can't go trusting a bunch of wise asses on the internet!

splat Posted January 20, 2011 Share splat how much for the giant. is it full ultegra? Should be about R20K - Your nearest Giant dealer should help you out with a good deal.Specs here Mostly Ultegra with 105 brakes, chain and cassette.Carbon frame with tapered steerer and pressfit bearings. Merida specs from Cyclelab The Cannondale CAAD 10 is supposed to be fantastic. Edited January 20, 2011 by splat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splat Posted January 20, 2011 Share Rather focus on the correct fit and geometry than brand.Get your mate measured up properly and choose a frame according to her size. Possibly look at a Women's Specific Design (made for bodies with longer legs and shorter torsos) - especially if you are look at a small frame.

splat Posted January 20, 2011 Share i find that the WSD bikes are much heavier The WSD bikes usually have crap spec.I dont know why. It seems that some bike companies think that woman who buy WSD frames aren't serious. Its kinda insulting and defeats the object of a WSD range.
