Lovin the bike....is it me or does that look like a Raleigh Bomber from the 70's/80'sThis is my Electra Townie Original 21D. I got it used with maybe 10 miles on it. The lady said something about her back or something and decided to sell it. It just so happened that I was looking for one at the time. It saved me a few hundred dollars, so I bought it.
It is fun to ride but sort of heavy. It did get me into riding enough to build my endurance up some and get me into the hobby. I still ride it regularly. The frame is 6061-T6 aluminum, the same alloy the pioneer plaque is made out of. It makes me feel like a part of history every time I ride it.I have put about 1000 miles on this particular bike.
I managed to clean up my yard yesterday and have been cleaning, adjusting, lubing and adding reflective tape the Townie the past week or so and I figured with the yard and the bike clean that is might be a good time for a few pictures.....yes I do carry pepper spray, that is what that thing on the seat post is. There are some big (and sometimes mean) dogs out in the country on the farms, and sometimes their owners might need a little help training them. I actually haven't had to use it yet, hopefully I never will.

Could do without that bar tape, yellow tyres and yellow saddle IMO, too many accents, a bit overwhelming for my tastes, but looks like a very nice frame.
I'm waiting delivery on the same bike, just stealth black. How does she ride? Rose and Canyon bikes absolutely blow the competition out of the market regarding value for money, potentially the best aluminium frames out there and super cheap! I can't understand why everyone isn't on one! Black bar tape and that beauty will be lush.

I LIKE YELLOW 
Rides like a dream, stiff and lively, but not harsh.

Mine has just been dispatched - had time to give yours a good thrashing yet? Can't wait to start racing with this thing, looks so light and stiff! What sized frame is that?
