Fiancee was with me looking at bikes yesterday; we looked at some Electra Townies, but in the end we went with an equivalent, a Giant Suede Women's crankforward. In our case a 7 speed This year's 21 speed DX model with a front derailleur is PURPLE; that, or pink, is a complete deal-breaker. We weren't impressed with the tires or price on the Electra, and the fit just wasn't as good. Also, no 21 speeds were in stock because the shop claims they have too many problems with the long chainline.
