The Townie 700C 21 combines Electra's comfortable forward pedaling position with a sporty design geared for long-distance and fitness rides.
- Frame geometry places bottom bracket and pedals well ahead of the seatpost, resulting in leg movement many people prefer over standard designs
- Geometry places rider upright for comfortable, heads-up positioning; aft positioning allows a rider to place both feet on the ground at a stop
- With 21 speeds, this Townie is set to tackle hills and charge the flats; features Shimano Tourney rear derailleur and a replaceable derailleur hanger
- Shimano trigger shifters are intuitively easy to use
- 700x40 tires provide a big-wheel ride that covers distances quickly and smoothes out small bumps; quick-release hubs make wheel removal a snap
- Hand-operated linear-pull brakes control both wheels, providing smooth, responsive deceleration
- Townie saddle features soft Lycra® spandex insert and shock-absorbing elastomers for all-day riding comfort
- Lightweight aluminum frame provides vertical stiffness for prompt acceleration and power in climbs; it's also easily lifted for storage and transport
- Platform pedals accept most casual shoes
After an initial break-in period you might notice your bicycle performing less responsively than the day you brought it home. Not to worry, this is typical of all new bicycles and simply reflects that cables have stretched or their housings have seated themselves into final position. To keep running at peak performance, all REI bicycles come with a FREE warranty tune-up, which should be accomplished between the first 100-200 miles of riding or after the first two months if you're accumulating miles less quickly. Contact your nearest REI bike shop for details and an appointment for this important service.
