Hahaha, sorry. This is just about the most unexciting category I can think of.
Anyway, my GF is finally allowing me to persuade her to buy a bike. Maybe even ride it.
Her demands are: 1. step-thru frame & 2. cozy tires (I think this means "not-skinny") & 3. a comfortable seat. She insists that she will not be hitting any hills but we live in Pittsburgh...everything is hills here. So...

A local ad has a woman's "brand-new" 21-spd Electra Townie for $225. I have heard good things about them. The Trek comfort series has a $280 avaliable too. Both frames have a ridgid fork, that's fine for our purposes. But I heard the Townie doesn't climb, period.

Any thoughts?
Thanks.
