    I'm looking for a ladies hybrid for my mother, reasonably light and with a sloping top tube is about all. Frame a small to medium. Something like the Trek 7 point series would be fine. It doesn't have to be in perfect working order, as long as it doesn't have any frame damage it should be acceptable.

    Thanks

    I haven't got one to sell but rather than suggesting 'small/medium' as the size it'd probably be better to state the height of your mother as not all bikes are sized 'small/medium/large' and for those that are it can still hit and miss regarding using it as a guide. Also, why the sloping top tube requirement? Pretty much all hybrids will dictate that the rider assume a fairly upright position. If you mention your budget this might also prompt a greater response. Good luck with your search.

    Thanks for the suggestions, I didn't put the requisite thought into my original post obviously. The budget is up to 450. The woman in question is 5'7" so in road bike sizing I'd go for a 54cm. I was hesitant to put in a cm measurement originally as with sloping top tube frames they can be deceptive. In my first post I meant sloping top tube as in step-through (ladies) frame, which I realise could have been a lot clearer.
