Price Paid:  $469.00 at The Bicycle Store O

Model Year:
2003

Favorite Ride:
Oklahoma University Campus

Summary:
I have ridden bicycles most of my life. I have owned racing bikes, mountain bikes, and (comfort bikes). I am 60 now and my main concerns are comfort and safety. The Townie 24 fits the bill perfectly. It's the most comfortable bike I've ever ridden. The overall quality is very good. All the components, brakes, derailluers, shifters, cranks, wheels, ect. ect. are all top notch. I've kept my bike all stock except for a water bottle cage and a rear rack to accomadate a Sunlite Topsider rear bag.

Strengths:
Comfort and safety. After a decentnd workout ride, my shoulders, neck, arms and legs aren't protesting as with other bikes.

Weaknesses:
I haven't really found any weaknesses. If you are into racing, mountain biking or trail riding you won't be looking at this bike anyway.

Favorite Ride:
SILVER COMET TRAIL

Summary:
Comfortable bike. You can really make the miles on it after your glutes get used to being used more.

Strengths:
Comfortable. Great visibility. Great conversation starter. Fit and finish excellent

Weaknesses:
Keep having to add extra rim strips...rim trough too deep and causes tube blow outs in the recesses between the spoke ends. Crank arms keep coming loose.
