Nice. Why?

 

[PowerflyLee formerly known as CheetahLee]

CAD or USD?

 

[250sparky]

I ordered it for my wife and she doesn't want it. I already have an electric mountain bike and I don't have space to keep another bike in my garage.

Asking price is in CAD.

Hey @250sparky

I'm in Victoria as well and have had my eye on an r&m for a while. Would it be possible to do a quick test ride? I'm not sure if the frame size will be right for me.

Let me know.
Thanks

 

[AleksR]

Did you sell it?

 

[250sparky]

The bike is still for sale. It's now assembled as in the pics, MikeyRic took it out for a test ride earlier today.

 

[AleksR]

Is Mike buying it?

 

[MikeyRic]

I'm still considering it, but I don't expect it to be held for me if someone else wants to commit before me. I'm not sure about the size so I'm going to try to test ride a different size at a shop to compare the fit.

Thanks for checking.

I have the cash: but is there anyway to get it to Portland? could we meet in Seattle? I don't think US can travel to CAN right? anyone know how much it would cost to ship? I am 5.9 and weigh about 170. will 53cm work for me?

 

[250sparky]

Charles, sorry but Im looking to deal with someone local. I also wouldn't come to the USA at the moment because when I return I would have to quarentine.

49cm would be better. I think 53cm would be too large for you.
I am 6ft and 49cm R-M charger fit me well.

Thank you Ravi. I found a LBS that has a few showroom models available. Will schedule a test ride soon

A bit of a side question here....is there a difference in the sizing between a road bike and a commuter bike like the Charger3 GT?

The reason I'm asking is both my road bikes and my Cannondale Neo Lefty 3 have 54cm frames and at 5'8" they fit me very well, but Ravi, at 6' fits a 49cm.

Yes, quite a bit of difference. My road bike is 58cm size.
Road bike and touring bikes have different geometry and sizing.

Thanks FlatSix911, it is a nice ride just not my style of bike to keep. If it were my style I might have bit the bullet and kept two eBikes.

For anyone else interested, this is definitely a bike for a big rider. My wife is 5'8" and she pulled a leg muscle trying to get on to it. I'm 5'11" and heavy set, the seat post is all the way down when I took it for a little test ride. I feel like it compares to my 21" eMTB , maybe even to a larger 23".

@MikeyRic were you able to test out a smaller frame and was it a better fit for you?

Haven't been able to test a smaller frame yet. The shop was closed until today, but I'm working during the day so hard to get over there. I'll contact them soon to see if they have the smaller frame in to test.

Too bad its a 53 which is a little too tall for my 5'6" frame. Or maybe its me that's too short. I right on the cusp of pulling the trigger to putting a down payment and ordering a R-M Charger 3 Mixt (2021) with the Nyon display.

Just a simple question. Did you have to wait long when you ordered it? How long?
