Hi
I’m looking to purchase a road bike for a female (height: 5’8-5’9), as I don’t have one right now.
I don’t mind buying a used bike as long as it is in a decent condition.
Could anyone give some suggestions as to the price range & stores that I could look into?
Thanks
It is (in my opinion anyway) quite unlikely you need a “women’s specific” bike to get a comfortable fit so that open’s up your options significantly. Getting a proper size and fit is more important than any minor geometry differences between a “men’s” and a “woman’s” frameset anyway.
What are you planning on eventually using this bike for? Moderate recreational riding or more high intensity riding and a bit of racing?
I’d probably go with one of the higher end aluminum frames from one of the big name companies: Specialized Allez, Cannondale CAAD10, etc.
