Wanted: Bike and/or Advice

    I'm looking for a bike for my girlfriend; she's going to start training to complete a 75 mile cycle in a few months.

    I've got a specialized sirrus hybrid bike and will be doing the same cycle with that. I find it's comfortable over long distances yet fast too.

    She hasn't cycled in a long time, and might as well be looking into a field of thistles as looking for a bike, so the task has been left in my incapable hands. I'm thinking something similar to my bike would suit... but I'm open to all suggestions/advice.

    The criteria:
    • Has to be cheap as it will be sold afterwards. About the €200 mark for a good used model
    • Has to be able to do the distance comfortably
    • Light and fast
    • Low maintenance
    • She’s about 5’10 so the frame needs to suit that height
    Thanks in advance!
