Thanks! What does your wife do for hydration on short and long rides?

Thanks! That’s what I was thinking as well about the cage mount but that should have been pointed out to me. I hadn’t ridden with a Camelbak in a very long time and I will readily admit I drank a LOT more water this morning using that instead of a bottle So maybe it’s a good thing. I will...

My Gazelle arrived and the small fits just fine. The seat post wasn’t long enough but I had already planned on trading it out for my suspension one that fits much better. I love the bike and how quiet it is. Here are my pros and cons: Pros: The computer tells me when to downshift. Very...

Thanks! I ordered the smaller frame from my LBS and hopefully will get it this weekend. I’ll post back and give my thoughts. Luckily they have a 2 week trial just in case it’s the wrong size.

Thanks. This bike (and most of Gazelle I believe) have adjustable angle handlebars. They don’t sell a 50. But I will test drive both the 46 and 53 before buying one. If I remember correctly when I was on the 53, the bars were in the most upright position and didn’t feel as comfortable as...

Thanks! The + version has more torque, Class 3 (vs class 1) and is a lot cheaper. It’s a mid-step. I test drove the T10 mid-step and liked it so now you have given me food for thought. Down to 2 bikes to choose from!

But maybe I should look at that one! Although I really refer a true step through….

The C380 HMB is $5200. I wish it was $3500! The C380 is less ($3900 here before state rebate) but it doesn’t have as nice a Bosch system, front fork isn’t as nice, and computer screen not removable and nowhere near as nice. Also less torque.

Thanks. I think their specs are off. Because on all 3 smaller bikes, the reach was better for me in that it was closer. I have long legs but short torso.

My 2018 RadCity Stepthru has over 5K miles and while it’s still working well, I’d like an upgrade and more enjoyable riding experience. I have my sights set on a Gazelle Ultimate C380 HMB. Denim Blue. I’m located in the US. I have test driven several Gazelles. I also test drove an Aventon...
