I struggle to understand why it is a Woman’s bike?
In the gumtree ad the bike has a classic cross bar frame, not a step through frame for skirts.

Size - looks reasonable for many.   Not all men are XXXL!
Maybe the saddle - but saddles are so individual they are usually replaced by the next owner.

It just reminds me how many years ago I went to buy some rock climbing boots and the only pair the shop had that fitted me were apparently designed for women……And I have wide feet.
