Anything similar to Townie 21D?
I love my Townie 21D, but are there any other similar bicycles on the market, not looking for new, I like older bicycles so I save money!

The Giant Simple 7 is no longer available,...
Mango LongBoard 8 Speed Cruiser
Mango The Keys 7 Speed
Mango LongBoard 7 Speed
Still not 21 speed,...the Electra is quite a good bike.

there is a trek pure. I don't know anything about it beyond it exists. Fuji makes (made?) something too. I have the frame at home (someone left it at the co-op and I got it cheap, but can't think of the name at the moment.
no telling how many or which manufacturers have a foot forward model. huffy even made a couple of small ones (20" rear wheel, 16" front). huffy rome or venice (the rome has suspension). I've brought a couple of venices (gave one to a relative with one arm), but don't ride them much. it'd be easier to throw in a trunk than a regular foot forward though. probably just get familiar with the various model names. try bentrider online's foot forward section to maybe learn of more models, and keep an eye out on craigslist or whatever other used sourses you know.

Sun Bicycles made (and still makes) cruisers similar to Electra's Townie. Not sure they have a 21-speed, but they do have them with 7-speed rear deuralliers.
