Electra Townie Original 8i bike review

Electra produced the Townie Original 8i bike in 2012 and can be classified as a Hybrid bicycle.
Electra Hybrid Townie Original 8i can be found in a few colors, among these colors Charcoal Metallic and Lavender Mist .
This bike is equiped with Schwalbe Fat Frank 2.35 tires while the rims are manufactured by Unavailable wheelset. Electra equiped this exact model with Shimano Nexus Roller braking system and Alloy 32h Shimano Nexus interal 8spd hubs.
To guarantee the comfiest ride Electra used 6061 Alloy Flat Foot material for the frame. Alloy Custom Bend high strength material is used on the handlebar of this Townie Original 8i to ensure the perfect handling while the stems are made of Polished Alloy.
For the smoothest biking experience Forged Alloy 170mm is used on this bicycle linked to KMC Z72 chain that is easily replaceable as stated by Electra, the whole system is connected to a high reliability Shimano Nexus Twist 8spd gear shift levers.
