Electra Townie Balloon 8D Ladies bike review

Electra produced the Townie Balloon 8D Ladies bike in 2010 and can be classified as a Commuter bicycle.
Electra Commuter Townie Balloon 8D Ladies can be found in a few colors, among these colors Pearl White and Coffee .
This bike is equiped with 26 x 2.35 Schwalbe Fat Frank tires and Stainless spoke wheel while the rims are manufactured by Painted Alloy with Machined Sidewalls, 36-hole. Electra equiped this exact model with Cold-Forged Alloy Linear Pull brakes, Alloy 4 Finger levers braking system and Front: Alloy low flange, Rear: Alloy Low flange with QR hubs.
To guarantee the comfiest ride Electra used 6061-T6 alloy material for the frame. Alloy custom bend, 25.5" x 5" high strength material is used on the handlebar of this Townie Balloon 8D Ladies to ensure the perfect handling while the stems are made of Adjustable Forged Alloy 25.4mm Quill.
For the smoothest biking experience Forged Alloy, 170mm, 44 teeth is used on this bicycle linked to KMC Z72 Rustproof chain that is easily replaceable as stated by Electra, the whole system is connected to a high reliability Shimano Acera Rapidfire gear shift levers.
