Was considering getting this bike in a 48cm for my wife.

Seems like a pretty good deal for <$700. Anyone else have
any experience with nashbar house brand?
I’ve tried asking in classified and there don’t seem to be lots
of used bikes in her size range, so new seems like the best
plan.
It’s not that bad of a deal. Keep in mind that this is a “triple” (3 chain rings). Also, it’s red. Hope she likes red. 
Not sure about the Nashbar. I was looking at this one from Performance for my wife.

Pretty similar. The nashbar one currently has 15% off, so ends up at ~$680.
Maybe there is a coupon for Performance that would get the Fuji to the same
level. The Nashbar one has a few more 105 components instead of Tiagra,
but the Fuji is at least a WSD and is a name brand frame. Bit of a toss up
I guess.

And the Fuji looks a little more girlie which in the case of my wife is important.
