Default Ladies Hybrid

Hi there,

A female friend is looking for a hybrid for a 4 mile London commute to
work. Budget around £300 and she'd prefer a ladies frame.

We've had a quick tour of the bike shops, and drawn up a shortlist of a
Giant CS2 (reduced from £400 to £300) and a Trek FX2 for around
£330. Anyone have any experience with either? Riding a Trek myself,
my bias is to go that way - but the salesman was explaining that the
Giants tend to be better spec'd and the price cut makes it a better
deal.

Or should we be looking at something else entirely?

Much appreciate any advice.

Thanks
Russell

For a short commute like that I would try to find something with a hub gear.
