If you do go with a 1x8 or 1x9 set up, do not forget a chain keeper.

Foy forever.
Paul makes a nice one, but there are others on the market:

Maybe, maybe not. My wife has no interest in the technical side of
riding. We tried for most of a summer to get her up to speed, so to
speak, but she routine

I dunno -- "inexperience" only lasts for a few hours on the saddle.
In my opinion, friction is much more simple than indexing. Friction
is easy to learn and very easy to master. When indexing comes out of
alignment, it causes all kinds of issues and questions for a rider who
does
What's the rear spacing on Betty--130, 132.5 or 135?

Thanks to those who passed along observations on-line and off-line. I
will take em all to heart. I've been friction shifting so long, I

I have a beater/traveler bike set up with an 8 speed rear and a 42 up
front (you can always go smaller). I take it to places with big hills
with no problems and love the simplicity of 8 gears. Index the RD with
a Barcon on Albatross bars and she'll have a great bike for what you
mentioned in my op
I'd recommend a 1X9 as it seems there are wider gearing options with 9
speed. 11-34 cassettes are a nice range for a 1X9.

I'm in the process of setting up a Riv-mixte for my wife as well. She
liked the black and gold, so she's getting an Yves Gomez.
1. I think she will find that with the Albatross bars the reach on
the 58 will still be quite manageable. I'd urge you to get the 58.
