When my daughter was working at the LBS, she was selling a few of Liv Invites to women in the area. These are women specific frames, designed by women, if I recall, and she thought highly of them. Got one for my wife, and she likes it very much, a go-to dirt road bike for her. Of course, I did get daughter to get a frame and fork, and upgraded to 105 and a few other touches as well. Anyhoo, might be a fine island bike, who knows.

Agreed
The Rove series is a really easy bike to fit. I'm biased (I sell them) but great handling bikes. The steel version might be the best bike for $1500 on the market. http://konaworld.com/rove_st.cfm |

Steel frame with disks can really add weight, pain in a** to put in car with bad back. If she can swing it, how about something like this https://lynskeyperformance.com/2017-viale-complete/
Specially living on the ocean with all salt spray... Better yet, find something with good ole rim brakes |

I just did a fairly long ride on my brother's new Vaya. I was really impressed. Smooth and stable but lively feeling. Felt as if I could ride on anything. I have some lower back issues and didn't feel a twinge.
He's loving it, too, as an upgrade from an aluminum frame with Campy. In fact, he complained quite a lot about that bike on the ride. I felt bad, but not bad enough to offer him the Vaya. |
