The goal is very clear.

I want to make use of this old scott from my son to make it has a second bike for my wife.
We have a camper van and we need a second bike which is easy to transport in the camper or on bike carrier , and not to heavy in comparison with our Ebikes. They also have to be easier to carry sometime on the train, which is very complicated with the ebike due to weight and dimensions. They also to be cheap bike, just in case , because we are visiting cities .

Two years ago I already made a bike for my wife, but she never really have liked it. She just doesn't feel secure on it . Maybe the bike is to small.
She has tried the scott and she likes the position on it . I could have make it has mountain bike, but she prefers some kind of road "utility" Bike version ("RUB" ; it sounds cool isn't it ?)

The old bike


The new goal (found on the drop bar conversion thread) ; She is decided for this kind of color.
The bike should have fenders (I have black ones like on this bike) , have a back rack , and be robust.
It should use as much as possible parts I have at disposal, but not necessary.
It must looks good, because it will be my wife's birthday present (she prefers by far something made from hand with heart as a fancy expensive present)
