We bought our oldest daughter a Raleigh Alysa 1 back in 2015...back when Raleigh were sold in bike shops. The Alysa is the "women's specific design" version of the Cadent. The '1' is the base model bike, but it's really a joy to ride. The alloy frame and steel fork together give it a pretty decent ride and...it's just a fun little bike to enjoy a nice day on. I hope your new Cadent serves you well for years to come!
