flatbar step thru bike thoughts

Hi,
Thought I would ask the brains trust. Jayne, my lovely wife, needs a new bike, as her old giant sedona finally died.
The main requirements are:
step through (Jayne's requirement)
solid fork
700C wheels
the headset to be ahead rather than the quill type
tyre size 32 to 35mm
triple crankset, but not critical, as double would do just as well.
and colour will come into play.
Jayne will use it for around town, but I will put a rack on it. With the old giant sedona, we cycled along the danube river in 2015 and had a wow of a time. I would expect this bike would also be used for a similar purpose in the future.
Trek have a FX 1 step through that we have looked at, and it is definitely on the list of bikes. They come in black or silver.
Apparently Specialized does have a step through sirrus but they are not bringing it into the country this year.
I haven't seen anything in the giant range, but I could have missed one.
So, do you know of any other bikes that fit the bill. Budget is $500 to $1500.
cheers
