Is there a bike shop that stocks a ladies road bike in a small frame size (I'm 5ft 4ins)at a reasonable price £3-400. I've given up looking - don't ladies ride bikes?

My Profile 		Hi I just found this doing a really quick search on google shopping

http://www.winstanleysbikes.co.uk/product/41488/Viking_Elysee_Bike_2011

It is a Viking with 53cm frame so shoudl be a perfect fit. if you are unsure at all regarding size go to your local bike shop and ask what size bike would suit your frame, at the end of the day they can not charge for advice and you have no obligation to buy the bike they offer you.

I have had a viking bike in the past which was single speed cant fault that one but when you put gears on as considering the low price it may not be as smooth and clean as one running better components.

hope you find something

happy trails

My Profile 		You might be pushing it a bit with your budget. 500 is a better start point for a half-decent steed, well, new anyway. It's essential you get fitted properly at a good bike shop. Lots of ladies ride bikes and I suspect they did the above!

Good luck!
