Strengths: Comfortable, very light, strudy, quiet, get the Townie rack for the back (extra) it's a must have.Weaknesses: I shot $689 for the bike, Electra rack, a basic computer and tax. I'll take that hit for a lifetime frame warranty!Bottom Line: Just rode for the first time in 25 years. For reference I'm 5' 10" and 310 pounds. I have been looking at Giant and Trek as well. The front suspension sold me. It is very easy to ride. I was looking for a bike for a good cardio workout for a guy that needs it, really bad. My goal was 30 minutes at my target heart rate. I made that no problem on day one. 4.7 miles in 45 minutes. Trust me, I wasn't racing. I went with my son on our first freezing cold bike ride together. Butt hurts a tiny bit, nothing what I expected. Threw in about a half mile on gravel and no problems. Decent burn in the legs, still panting, and can't wait until tomorrows ride!
Price Paid:
$539.00

Bottom Line: Bought an Electra Towne Bicycle (girl's frame) for my wife three years back. She was not riding it and I comenced using it. After an estimated 7000 miles I broke the frame at the seat post, perhaps by having the seat too high up.
Rick at Wheel Away Cycles spoke to the factory and they gave me an entire NEW bike!!
Outstanding Brand and service.

Strengths: Looks, comfortWeaknesses: Hill climbing, it's a little on the expensive sideBottom Line: Actually my bike is a 2011. I demo'd it in a flat town, it rode great. Then I got it home, I live in the hills. Even though it has 21 speeds it is no climber. Mainly because it is not designed to stand up. So I'm relagated to flat land riding. That is where this bike shines, it is so comfortable and pedals so easily on flat land. and it looks pretty cool also
Favorite Ride: Mt Vernon Bike Trail

Strengths: light weight easy riding comfort. Our feet touch the ground.Weaknesses: n/aBottom Line: My mother & I both purchased these bikes. We just couldn't believe how these bikes just glide along. We currently had Ross 10 speeds for the past 30 yrs. we are glad we upgraded to these bikes because we like to ride.
