2012 Specialized Vita Elite Women's Hybrid Bike Medium

Virtually Brand New. Bought for 14 YO daughter who has ridden it a handful of times. Probably only 100 miles use. Bought for £540 in November 2011. Currently on sale online at £500.

Being a mountain biker recently converted to a roadie, I bought this bike hoping that my daughter would also get the bug - but it hasn't happened! I chose this bike because it has the benefits of a having a high spec and road bike geometry, coupled with the added comfort of a flat bar and more forgiving tyres. A great ladies all rounder.

The Specialized Vita Elite 2012 Women's Hybrid Bike offers the speed of a road bike with the comfort and confidence that comes from a flat bar, for exercising, commuting, or hitting the open road. A super light E5 alloy frame and carbon fork, plus 9-speed Shimano triple drivetrain means smooth, fast, and efficient performance.
