Girlfriends frame - Impossible Find!

hey guys,

I have been trying to persuade my gf to get a bike to enjoy this summer with me . she is very picky (very picky) with the frame she is looking to get. She was never exactly clear on what she wanted until she saw this frame in San Paolo a few weeks ago. She wants this! Do you guys know what this is or where i could find something like this.

Essentially the thing that she really likes about it is the split but curvy downtube. the seat stay joinery is not that important. do u guys know any frames that have this feature? Also does anyone know what frame this is

I would say that is probably a bit too small for her.

On a more serious note, I have never seen a frame like that: it looks like a mixte frame with added curviness. If she can manage without the curves, I have a frame that would probably fit her.

If she can manage without the curves there's alsoma mercx tour de frace frame with a split down tube that crops up occasionally.

try to convince her that quite possibly this curvy bike weights a ton and that she will be better of with a 531 piece of english awsomness

reminds me of this. it's not quiet right though but maybe if you grind of some of the brake stops etc and give it a paint.

80s-90s ladies hybrids/tourers from germany often used the split curve down tube have seen many of them in germany that would probs be the place to look

could possibly be 70s as well

Get a new girlfriend that's less fussy, it might be easier.............. ;o))

Trek make a bike like this - http://www.evanscycles.com/products/trek/t10-2009-hybrid-bike-ec001535

I wanted to build something like this for my doris, but she told me she is happy with her 50kg halfords monstrosity. fair enough.

That style of frame must be rare, but you could always get something custom-built for her by a local framebuilder.

its wonderful what you can make out of old iron gas tubing, and it'll never take off (far too heavy!).

At worst, get one shipped over from Sao Paulo, just to keep her happy!!!!!

hey what about something like this?
