And I got it!! Got my new Electra Sparker for my Birthday from the wife. Hands down best bike I have ever rode. I thought my Nirve was a good ride but the Sparker destroys that thought. Rode it for about 8 miles the other day and I never even thought that I needed to stop and rest. The dealer hooked me up with matching color pedals because I didn't like the standard ones. Robby's Bicycle Shop in Stockton, Ca. Go there! They got a huge selection on bikes and parts. I added a black head lamp, plus a horn and valve caps I painted Rust primer. I love this bike. When I heard others on this site rave about the ride I was thinking, "Is it really that much better than any other new bike?" Yes! Well heres pics.
