Finding and buying and fixing old bikes is a hobby, it as a very different one than riding bikes. Riding a bike can be transportation, exercise, a hobby or any combination but it is very different than finding, buying and fixing bikes.
If your girlfriend wants something cool to ride, I'd focus on finding a bike will best suite that need. There are tons of high quality bikes being manufactured today that are amazing and affordable from big brands like Trek and Specialized to Breezer and Jamis to Linus and Public. They often come with racks, fatish tires, mudguards and sometimes even lights. Many are made of steel and they ride great and are very reliable. A reliable bike will get ridden way more than an old artfully crafted lugged beauty that needs constant TLC. Good luck. -Jimmy -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
