I built her two road bikes perhaps 20 years ago (a steel Trek and the Mononico), but a road bike wasn't what she wanted then. She fell in love with a Breezer Liberty in '02, so that came home with me. Then she wanted more zip so after a few mods to the Breezer, we got her a Cannondale hybrid (Road Warrior 800). A few years later she wanted more zip, more distance comfort, less buzz, so we found a nice steel Georgeanna Terry that came home with me (Cannondale got sold, Breezer is really too good a bike to let go of). She loves the Terry and is now a steel believer, but we're discovering the saddle adjustment is no longer good. I'm her fitter, and chief maintainer and bike route picker. We need to examine fit again, and maybe it will lead to a fine new frame for her. I just got a used 650b Terraferma, and after she tries it the Terry might not be her cup of tea anymore.
