Terry bicycles?
Hi all,
I have heard of the company Terry who sells women's saddles, clothing, etc. but am not sure if this is the same company who sold the Susan B. bike? Here's an example that I'm considering purchasing to help me get up the hills near my house and for a commuter time trial next month (I just hope to finish, not get a speedy time; it's for charity)...any insights and opinions? Thanks so much!Serial #:

Hi there, yes it's the same company. I've built a few Terry bikes for female friends of mine and have been impressed with their construction and component specifications, overall, great bikes! I don't know when yours was produced but I do know Waterford built Terry bikes for sometime. The bike you've shared looks to be a more modern (by C&V standards) example, maybe a mtb or cross bike? If the bike is affordable and fits you, I say go for it!

Terry made/makes custom handmade bikes and production bikes (like this one). She is known for varying tires size to match frame size and used 700c on the back and 24" on the front of many of her road bikes to make them a better fit for women. The Susan B. above does have a Terry "Liberator" woman specific saddle. Here is her website https://georgenaterry.com

My wife has 3 Terry bicycles and enjoys them. The Terry saddles are on most of my wife's other bikes too. Terry made bikes that fit smaller women much better than most brands.

She builds for men also. Kind of like Zinn, who specialized for tall people but would custom fit anyone.

Georgena Terry is da bomb! She's on Fb if you want to ask her about your new bike.

I follow a male bike tourer on YouTube who swears by her saddles.
