Step through Hybrid
Let's see...1972 was my last bike purchase..a Raleigh Sprite 27 10 speed. I decided it's time to get another bike. But as the years take their toll, I am inclined to go with a step through model, but I'm finding my choices rather limited. Not looking to do crazy stuff, just road and more groomed trails, would be nice to have front suspension and disc brakes but getting both of those doesn't seem to be out there from what I've seen.... The top contender is a Trek Neko, but no disc brakes. Anything I'm missing out there?

i suspect this is not your cup of tea. i built this mixte up because at 70 i can not be sure when i will have to give up on a diamond frame. i need to move my bikes around so suspension bikes were out due to weight issues. while i am huge fan of disc brakes, i do not ride in the rain and hills are short were i ride, which is pavement. this fuji is just under 26lbs, 3x8 speed with 700c wheels.
