the selection can be limited, which was the case for my (small) size.\u00a0 I test drove the Rapid and thought it was a nice ride, but wanted to try some other bikes for comparison. \u00a0Since I wanted flat handlebars the selection was even more limited.\u00a0 I decided to try drop handlebars and noticed a very <strong>beautiful Giant Avail 3<\/strong> in my size.\u00a0 Not only that, but it was also a <strong>women specific design<\/strong> \u2013 bonus!<\/p>\n<p>I took a test ride on the Giant Avail 3 and immediately fell in love with the bike.\u00a0 It was comfortable, I really enjoyed all the hand position options, the shifting was very smooth and the second brake levers were brilliant.\u00a0 The seat is comfortable. Best of all she is a <strong>fast, fast girl<\/strong>. So much for taking our time \u2013 I wanted this bike and I wanted it now!<\/p>\n<p>I have not regretted my choice for a minute.

next level. The lightweight and comfortable ride quality of Avail comes courtesy of its premium aluminum frame, designed specifically for women riders with Liv\/giant\u2019s 3F philosophy. Its road-taming technologies include the distinctive OverDrive steerer tube, which is oversized for improved handling and slightly taller for optimized endurance positioning.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>It&#8217;s all true!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is a great bike for a very reasonable price. Took it for a spin myself, even though it is not exactly my size. It handles like a thoroughbred &#8211; FAST, and responsive. A little on the stiff side for me, but Maggie loves it. If you&#8217;re looking for a road bike under $1,000, definitely give this one a test ride.<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">(For <strong>more <\/strong>product reviews, see\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/category\/cycling-reviews\/average-joe-cyclist-product-reviews-cycling-reviews\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Average Joe Cyclist Product Reviews<\/a>.)<\/h5>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-43\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-43 tbody-has-connected-cells\">\n<tbody>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<td colspan=\"3\" class=\"column-1\"><center><strong>As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n\t<td colspan=\"3\" class=\"column-1\"><h3>Check Out Our Most Popular Posts!<\/h3><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3\">\n\t<td colspan=\"3\" class=\"column-1\"><div id=\"metaslider-id-25127\" style=\"max-width: 750px;
