    Hi, everyone

    I am new to cycling, I have an old Peugeot ladies road bike & have been riding it for the past year, I feel I need a new bike now, but all the bikes are unisex, can anyone advise as to what to get, I dont mind second hand & does anyone have one they would like to sell.

    thanks

    Hi, welcome to the forum.
    Hi, welcome to the forum. Specialized seem to be well-regarded in this area, they have whole product management teams devoted to womens bikes and kit – unlike some vendors, this does not consist of simply using a condescending shade of pink paint. I believe the ‘Dolce’ is popular.

    May I ask what your price range is? (Don’t be shy of telling us that you don’t want to spend megabucks, it might be an expensive sport but we aren’t all loaded! đŸ˜€ )

    Hi there,

    Bikes are not necessarily uni-sex, there are ‘female specific’ road bikes – they just tend to be a bit rarer and unfortunately a little bit more expensive.

    As possible routes to explore:

    Check out Evans selection of female road bikes:

    or

    The smallest size of the Triban 3 might do the job:

    It would help to put yourself through this to help choosing sizes:
