The only problem here is that for my uses, and many of the folks on this site I believe (slow and easy), 7 overdrive gears would require an extreme sprocket combo, and that is not a cool aesthetic IMHO. I have absolutely no need for much of a high gear, I just don't want to be too strained by...

Gearing is extremely important when you only have a couple to choose from! And short cranks make me cranky. Also, my girlfriends favorite bike has a 36 tooth chainwheel and it looks funny to me...

My thoughts were the exact opposite. I would only be interested in an underdrive unit. I know any level of gearing can be achieved thru sprocket sizing, but little chainwheels look stupid.:(

So, what's the word on the drive ratios on these? Overdrive or a lower gear?

Made in Michigan! I smell a stretch frame in my future too...

I bought the Felt one a number of years ago.:comando:

Did you just answer your own question? Also, I'm really interested in their similarities and/or differences.

The 3G is just kinda dorky lookin' IMHO...

Felt YALL! Seriously though, roll classic. It's greener and meaner.

If you're riding a bike to get fit, what's the point in making in making it as easy and efficient as possible? I love an upright riding position for safety and a better view of the world. Plus, my town has no hills whatsoever. I can spend the entire day on my bike going to parks, restaurants...

As long as you don't have to deal with any hills, you can't beat a cruiser. I'll ride a slow 20 miles any day on a cruiser!

I personally prefer smaller to mid-size apes on my cruisers. They keep my back and neck straighter and my head up, resulting in improved visibility and comfort. Improved coolness too. :cool2:
