After a few upgrades.

After a few upgrades.

Made a few changes and I like the results. Still need a cup holder for coffee runs and maybe a Brooks saddle.

I’m having a tough time not pushing the button on a cadet blue C1 . I was tempted when I bought my Matte Bark , and would have gone with the blue then if REI carried it .

I bought this bike just because of the color not because I wanted a cruiser. Now I love this bike, I like it better than my Trek FX2 and my Trek X-Caliber 7

I love both my C1’s . They are definitely my favorite bikes . I definitely like them better than my new Rockhopper. I’ve swapped all kinds of equipment on the Rockhopper trying to make it comfortable and it just isn’t there .
I should have bought a cadet blue C1 and put Maxxis on it .
Riding on my Matte Bark today I felt like I was a teenager again . With the Maxxis , the bike handles like my Miata I used to own .
They are awesome bikes .
I wish Electra would come out with some new colors , a red , orange , or a yellow . And use chrome components like they do on the step through girls bikes .
The 2020 colors are set . Black, Bark , and the Blue . I just might have to order a Cadet Blue .
