Greetings folks,

I believe this is 2017 model, with the following:
- Tires = Schwalbe Marathon 26 x 1.5, NEW
- Drive: SRAM X-3 derailleurs, SRAM 3.0 Comp Shifters, 1x8 speed
- Brake set = Clarks Disc brakes (cable-actuated)

For one year I commuted from Seattle to Redmond regularly (15 miles each way) on the T50 but, after moving to the Boston area, found little use for it now with the shorter commute.
I purchased it for $700 from an older gentleman in Portland, OR who never got used to the front drive.
I currently have 5 bikes and, according to my better half, that is "excessive." (sad emoji here)

Please let me know if there are questions and note that the panniers and rear rack are not included in the sale.

Cheers,
Hidayat
Winchester, MA (Boston area)

Good afternoon, PDavis here.
Can you please tell how difficult it was for you to learn to ride a cruzbike.
Also, how does it do climbing hills?
Thank you

Hi @PDavis It took me half a day to be comfortable riding the bike. I started riding in a quiet, flat, residential street to be safe. The hardest part was to learn how to start from a standstill. The key is to start with a low gear since we can't stand up on the pedals as when we start on a normal bike. Also, when starting, because pedaling and steering are coupled, we need to remember to push forward on the handlebars to counter the pedaling stroke. Once we get to speed though, it is easy. I took it on a longer ride the next day and learned the more subtle aspects of the bike and came home very excited about having discovered the advantages of a recumbent bike. I would say climbing was quite efficient although I have never tried other styles of recumbents. I rode this bike all around Seattle which was not flat.
