best valube womans all road/ gravel bike for $1500?
HI- Im looking for a bike for my wife. My criteria are tire clearance for at least 38mm tires, shimano hydraulic brakes, and shimano shifting. Beyond that I don't have much criteria, don't care about frame material, brand, etc. This Liv Brava SLR I is the best bike for the money that meets my criteria so far...any other suggestions?
thanks
edit- cant figure out how to edit the thread, I can't spell sorry!

I can't speak for that particular model, but I just bought a Liv Avail Advanced Pro and absolutely love it. Liv started out as the womans line of Giant bikes, but became an independent company in 2014. However, they still use a lot of Giant parts, Giant does the manufacturing (at least of the frame), and I think they are mostly (if not exclusively) sold by Giant dealers.
The beauty of Liv, in my opinion is that they consider the specific needs of the average woman. There are differences... lol This is the first bike with a seat that I find comfortable right from the start. Of course, I have only ridden about 13 miles on it, so, I can't speak for the long term.
