I’m currently looking at getting a beginner bike for my girlfriend but I’m struggling to narrow down what to get because the prices seem heavily inflated around me. All of them should fit but I’d definitely have her try them before buying. I’m looking at the following:
2012 Jamis Ventura Sport – $325 CAD ([https://www.bikeroar.com/products/jamis/ventura-sport-2012/specs](https://www.bikeroar.com/products/jamis/ventura-sport-2012/specs))
2012 Trek Lexa SL – $550 CAD ([https://www.bikeroar.com/products/trek/lexa-sl-2012/specs](https://www.bikeroar.com/products/trek/lexa-sl-2012/specs))
2014 Scott Contessa Speedster 15 – $800 CAD ([https://www.bikeroar.com/products/scott/contessa-speedster-15-2014/specs](https://www.bikeroar.com/products/scott/contessa-speedster-15-2014/specs))
I’m considering the Scott the most since it has the 105 groupset but $800 for a 9-year-old bike seems pretty steep, and for $100 more I could get a 2023 Felt with disk brakes (photo also included).
