I set up a meeting spot for TdF San Diego and posted it to the link above.

A friend and I are volunteering to help register for the bike parade and also be parade marshals. After that, it's party-time! However, the EBF group will be meeting up before the parade. The details aren't set, but here's a link to the thread...

Thanks for the info! Funny that you post a link to my friend Junior's Monark collection. I thought that this purple one looked familiar, but didn't realize that it's the same one he has.

I'm guessing that this is a restoration, but I'm not sure. Does anyone know if this Firestone cruiser looks original? I've never seen it in this color scheme. Is it worth $800?

I'll be there with several riders from ElectraBikeForums.

I agree with Tychevelle. I own four Electras, and they all have pedal-forward. I only buy Electras with pedal-forward because they are extremely comfortable, and I don't find them hard to pedal up hills or on long rides. In fact, I belong to a forum with hundreds of Electra-owners, and every...

Nice Lakester RatRod! The paint job on those bikes is stunning up close! Electra is discontinuing the Lakester this year and will be coming out with two new color schemes for their Attitude bike frames.

You will definitely feel more stable on a modern Electra than on a MTB! Plus, your back won't ache from hunching over for hours on end!

I agree! I love the feeling of anticipation! Sometimes it's actually better than whatever is being anticipated! I was really excited while waiting on a set of Jerald Sulky whitewalls, and when they arrived, it took less than 30 mins for me to mount them. They look fantastic on my Electra Vince...

Just an FYI that Electra cruisers made before 2005 do not have their patented technologies (Flat Foot and Pedal Forward) that make their more modern bikes so darn enjoyable. These technologies stretch out the frame and offer a lower center of gravity that makes them more comfortable to ride and...

One day I will own a Monark Silver King Hex Tube with the springer forks, and I will be able to die a happy man (in due time)!

Thanks RR! Electra occasionally has a 'scratch and dent sale,' where they offload scratched bikes, imperfect parts and the occasional color sample like this Super Deluxe. Sadly they haven't had a sale for a couple of years. I wasn't able to attend the last one, but I distinctly remember seeing...

I'm a big Electra fan, and this unique Super Deluxe is my fourth Electra cruiser. It is a company one-off that was made to see what the color scheme looks like in person. Since they didn't produce this color scheme, there are only two in existence; one men's and one women's. I really like the...

A few drops of oil on and around the front nut that holds the seat 'frame' onto the 'lid' will make that squeaky noise go away immediately!

I'm not a fan of the new Felt frame style at all, but that's OK because I already have a Felt aluminum cruiser and I don't plan on getting another one. Also, I find the 'bargain-bin' cantilever frame and the new 29" frame to be hideously ugly. Just my opinion.

Excellent score! That thing is saweet!

Brad the owner is the only employee at Kickstand anymore.

I assumed that if Brad partnered with REI to distribute issue 10 for free, he would actually release issue 10. Coincidentally, it has been 10 months since issue #9 was released. I wonder if he's going to change to 1 issue a year. I really don't understand how he can sleep at night knowing how...

Custom Electra Balloon Townie 8i.

A friend asked me to customize his Electra Balloon Townie 8i, and here's the result. I decided to make it look more like a cruiser, so I made several changes including: Electra handlebars, dice valve caps, saddle, bell and grips, Nirve headlight, Soma tail light, custom painted fenders, generic...
