I was looking at Cruisers trying to decide on my next one , probably the last for awhile anyway .
Looked at Electras , another C1 , but in Cadet Blue ? I wanted something bright , something other than Matte Black or Matte Bark . Even my Fat Tire is a flat Titanium color . So that left out the other Electra I was looking at , the Cruiser 7D . Duplicate matte colors of what I already have .
I looked at cheaper bikes on Amazon , but just couldn’t buy something I wouldn’t ride .
I’m sort of a snob I guess when it comes to bike brands .
The other bike brand I like is Specialized , the maker of my Roll, which I consider to be a cruiser bike . A nice cruiser too . Upright comfortable riding at its best . And the trigger shifter and seven gears on my Roll have always performed better than my Electra Fat Tire .
So, I chose another Roll . But this time in a bright color . Lime Oak/green Titanium. And what a bargain IMO , at only $30 more than what an Electra 7D would cost me .
My Roll is the only bike ,where the only thing I’ve changed on it was the pedals , grips, and the saddle . It comes with huge 650x2.3 balloon tires that remind me of Maxxis Hookworms, only fatter.
Can’t wait to pick her up and add her to my collection. A stock photo until I get the real thing .

My black Roll out for a cruise this morning.

Congrats on the new bike, I like bright colors. It’s important to be seen while you are riding your bike. Specialized has good products. Post some pics when you take delivery.

Nice bike congratulations.

Thanks , but unfortunately the bike got lost in shipping to the dealer and took over two weeks to get there . Time enough for me to change my mind .
I discovered the crank forward geometry wasn’t the best for me , so I canceled my order .
I still have my black Roll, it’s just not an everyday rider like it used to be .
I’ve been eyeing the Specialized Sirrus lately , and fixing up my Schwinn Cross bikes .

That’s odd I bought a new Specialized Sirrus on sale on Black Friday weekend. I really love the bike, supper price, and very comfortable. For a aluminum frame it rides amazingly smooth. I think Specialized has a great line of quality bikes. My new Sirrus is now my third Specialized bike in my stable.

The shop said they were waiting on four other bikes that were supposed to have been delivered when mine was . They told me they were canceling those since they were shop bikes and reordering , so I asked to cancel mine two since I’d been waiting two weeks . And they said I could . I’m glad they did .
I love Specialized bikes , but think I need a conventional crank below the seat instead of crank forward of the Roll .
I’ve been enjoying my old Schwinn Crosscut and my knees are feeling better after riding it .
They may be a Sirrus in my stable in the near future .
