Availibility in LBS
There is no LBS in my area that stocks the Electra Bikes. A 200 mile round-trip for tune-ups and warrenty work does not work for me.
Locally we have the Trek Sole Rides, Cadillac L-3, and the Raleigh Gruv's. I live in a pretty much flat area.
The Gruv does not have an option for an internal hub.
Is there a quality difference between the Trek and the Raleigh products?
I plan on doing some test-driving this week, and may even go out of my area to look at the Giant Suede bikes, just to get a feel for the crank-forward options.
I enjoy this forum and want to thank all the contributers.
