Electra 7D in "Matte Bark"
 
Excited to be part of the cycling family again. I don't think I've ridden a bike since I was 10 which is a good 20+ years ago and I'm loving every minute of it. Turns out something good did came out from the pandemic. Using this opportunity to cycle as a family. My wife has always wanted to get a cruiser bike so when I got hers on mother's day I immediately fell in love and had to get one for me on for father's day. Lucky to be able to snag one since it seems everyone is buying bicycles especially cruisers where I live. Drove an hour and half to get mine. Already got her some pedals and seat as well. Waiting on some Brooks leather wrap grips to finish off the look. :love:

That bike looks great in matte bark!

Thanks JehD ! Yes they are very fun. Just wish they were a little lighter but I guess you can't really expect that from a cruiser.
GeezyRider Thank you! Yes they only had two options. Matte black and this. I think Matte black would have been too plain though which is why I went this route instead

What a lovely color combo! I looked and looked for a 7D for weeks and none anywhere in the country. One shop in AZ had one but will not ship.

Love your pedals - who makes them and where did you find them?

Love that color.

Love the color combo with the saddle!

I'm new and I like the Electra Cruiser. Would a Electra Townie 7d also be considered a beach cruiser bike?

rhenning 03-08-21 08:20 AM

Are you worried about the name? Buy the buy you like after riding it. Roger

the townie has a seat that sits farther back than the cruiser 7. I never could get the townie to a fit that I liked without reversing a laid back seat post. I ride the cruiser 7 much more than the townie.

Matte bark color
 
I just bought the electra cruiser in matte bark. I absolutely love it but on the way home I got a small scratch on the front fork. Does anyone know where I can get this paint color to touch it up.

rhenning 06-12-21 07:16 AM

My advice it Testor's model paint but myself I would just do nothing. Roger

Handlebars w Max Pullback/sweep
 
Just picked up this bike myself. Im looking to get some bars with more pullback so that the grips will be closer to me (I think its called pullback, or sweep.)

I found a bar on ebay that has a 14.5 pullback (and 27.5 wide). Hoping to find more pullback and no wider as well.

Any ideas? THANKS!!
