IMO, you would be better off finding a women's bike with disc brakes and convert it to an internal gear hub. (Yes, internal gear hubs can be had with disk brakes.) A quick search turned up this: Hybrid Bikes Cafe Latte Disc 2014. Converting it to an internal hub would add another couple hundred dollars to the bill.
Yes, this makes sense. This bike looks good, I would even buy it but pedals on it is clip-on.. Are they cheap to replace?
