Hey guys,
i need to build a "cheap" bike for my girlfriend. She wont ride it every day, just for casual fun or riding to the grocery store so the geometry should be comfortable not too sporty. The Price should be around 400€ including fork, seastpost, dropbar, headset, shipping and customs to germany. It doesnt need to be the lightest frame, and custom color is not necessary, full carbon would be great but allow frame + carbon fork would work also. important is the option to add a luggage rack at least.
Since i have to build it, id like to have at least stick axles, threaded bb (no pressfit) and a mount for discbreaks.. UDH would be a + but its fine without.
I already checked Ali and found a lot of frames in the price range but its hard to figure out which has a decent quality.
Ah and shes quite small. 160cm so it needs to be a small frame
