What are you going to use the ladies bike for?
The first thing you should think about is the function of the ladies bike. If you are primarily cycling in an urban environment, a classic ladies bike with three to seven gears may be perfect, but if you commute long distances, it may be a lighter bike adapted for longer distances may be more appropriate.
Which frame size suits you best?
The frame size is crucial for your comfort while riding the bike. Your overall body height is a factor to consider, but the length of your upper body and your legs also play a big role. For example, if you have long legs and a short upper body, the pedal distance may be perfect, but the distance to the handlebars will be too far. There is no simple answer, but the best thing you can do is try it for yourself.
