The bike's for my wife, who has ridden a step-through all her life, and she is
already intimidated by the looks of the Change MTB frame. A Fox 32 suspension fork would just get me into deeper trouble, both in terms of looks and cost. It costs more than the frame. Change doesn't have a model for women, with a dip in the top-tube. The Change MTB frame in the smallest size looked to me as though it would have an acceptable standover height. But she would have preferred a Trek Verve 2 and a bike rack.
