Hello folks!
So my wife has expressed a slight desire to join me for some riding, which is really exciting for me. She is quite scared of the idea of drop bars, as she has basically only ever ridden a cross bike as a kid, and then a mamachari when we first moved to Japan. So I think a Cross bike will be the most comfortable for her to get on the road, moving.
Right now due to ongoing medical costs from my jaw, and then just a bunch of life things that happened, don't have a huge amount of money. But I am wanting to save up and get her something by the end of summer so we can go riding together. Wondering if people here have recommendations of a decent setup that won't break the bank?
We saw the Cannondale Quick at Mont Bell and she really liked the look of that, so maybe that could be the one to go for. But was interested in those here who may have a bit more experience with cross bikes in general. I am very happy with my Cannondale, but not sure how their cross bikes fare.
