Basically the same, but it's had a few upgrades here and there. I should post a new picture of the Townie as it looks these days. Basically the same, but it’s had a few upgrades here and there.

They are great road bikes, and sometimes those handle bars make the ride even more fun. I think a big seat is a great addition to any bike, and having the nice big tires like you have there, are of a value too. I really like the Wald baskets, you might want to upgrade the water bottle on the front, and see if that works out better for you. Or do you use a backpack? Packing can be a bummer, unless it rains! Glad to see you got your new bike! I think every biker needs a couple:) What a fun color on your electra! They are great road bikes, and sometimes those handle bars make the ride even more fun.

I ride everywhere. I drive if the distance is too much. LOVEEE slow biking. I have a Cannondale Bad Boy now. It was my Christmas present to myself. It is fun, fast but very uncomfy. I just simply hate leaning forward. I don't like road bikes. Love Rivendell and their road bike design--Im just not comfortable with the leaning forward and the straight or drop bars. So, I am looking tobuy a Dutchie. For all purposes the Amsterdam will suffice. Unfortunately, it has recall issues. It sure was fun to ride though. I also have tothink I have totake the bike up a flight of stairs. Do I want to lug up and down daily a $1300 beast from Batavus? Leaving outside is not an option. Recently rode the autogear shift from Trek--didn't like. Rode a Trek Pure--didnt like. I have a 1969 Schwinn. It is a beast actually quite painful to ride. Im always getting scratched, bruised--and she is heavy. Selling her too. LOL! Do you like the Townie? Did you try Globe? Jamis? Hi, Im in FTL.
