Anyone Hot Rod an Electra Townie?

I've been at the beach all we and I have seen some awesome Townie's that have been decked out by their owners!

You guys have any?

I have already sold mine. Never could get comfortable.

That was a very cool build! What wasn't comfortable about it?

Hurt my lower back. Riding a drop bar road bike for hours is fine, though...go figure

Yeah but that's understandable!

I have done several custom Townie builds mostly for friends. I'm an Electra Dealer and I love Townies, super comfortable cruisers!




I've done several others but i can't find pics right now. Mike

** edit ** sorry not a Townie.

It was stock for about a day. I needed the apes so I could ride it comfortably. Needed a tandem cable to reach the wheel.

By far my favorite bike becasue it feels like it fits. Am building up a stretch frame that was made for me by my Uncle. If it fits as good as this it might be my fav.

Those are awesome!

Agreed, the brown Fat Franks and tank bag/seat/grips combo look very nice. I've got a 7d but it's "dad'd" up instead of rod'd out. :|

Love my electra townie 21 just the way it is, just added dice valve stem caps and leather grips.
