Firmstrong Bicycles

[NOLABIKER]

Anyone have any thoughts on the Firmstrong brand? The Urban Deluxe model in particular? From what I have been seeing, they are inexpensive imports. Maybe China?
Saw some prices ranging from $299 to $379. That's about in my price range for a stretch. Thoughts? Thanks in advance.

they are made over seas yes. pretty much all production cruiser bikes are. if you are looking for a stretch, they are a cool design. you can also get a micargi stretch for about the same price. All depends on what you are looking for in a bike. There are a lot of cool stretch bikes out there.

I've been looking at the Electra Ghostrider and the Phat Cycles Stretch. Those two are real nice but real expensive. Can't justify close to $1,000 on a bike right now. I'm financing the Electra Townie that I just bought. But once that gets paid off...

Who knew Kohl's had bikes? I didn't!

I know! Last Christmas I was ordering toys for the grandkids from Kohls and needed to "fill" out the order for free shipping - got 2 of those "ding-dong" bells for $16 shipped!

Firmstrong rocks! I just got mine, an Urban Men's 7 speed. It's my go-to bike now. I got mine on sale for $219 + $39 shipping. Check availability--- they run out fast.
