Electra Townie Balloon 8I bike review
Electra produced the Townie Balloon 8I bike in 2011 and can be classified as a Commuter bicycle.
Electra Commuter Townie Balloon 8I can be found in one single color which is Ebony.
This bike is equiped with 26 x 2.35 Schwalbe Fat Frank tires and Stainless spoke wheel while the rims are manufactured by Painted Electra Double Wall Alloy, 32-hole. Electra equiped this exact model with Shimano Nexus brakes, Alloy levers braking system and Shimano Nexus hubs.
To guarantee the comfiest ride Electra used 6061 Alloy material for the frame. Alloy custom bend riser high strength material is used on the handlebar of this Townie Balloon 8I to ensure the perfect handling while the stems are made of Polished Alloy.
For the smoothest biking experience Forged Alloy is used on this bicycle linked to KMC 410 chain that is easily replaceable as stated by Electra, the whole system is connected to a high reliability Shimano Revo twist gear shift levers.
