My wife passed her test last December.
She is a small lady so most bikes way too tall.
We have the chance of this gladius nice bike but too tall it has lowering kit but that’s not great and man says he took it off due to poor handling.
My question is
Will my wife really know the difference at this stage new biker ?
Or spend £800 at revs racing Halesowen on Wilber shock and reworked forks and set up for wife .
I tempted to do the suspension properly but it makes the gladius not cheap anymore.
Has anyone done this to a bike ie tried the cheap kit then paid more to have it done
Looking forward to any ideas thoughts regarding this dilemma
