My T50 town bike

I recently acquired a T50 frame to replace my old Freerider.
While the Freerider was a fun bike to ride once it got moving it was getting this hefty bike moving that was a problem. Starting on even the slightest incline was a strain on my legs but I figured that the T50, lacking the extra weight of the dual suspension, seemed like it should cure that problem.
And cure it it did! This bike is a more lively and spirited ride and a real attention grabber too.
This is the 5th Cruzbike I have owned.
I'll probably end up donating the Freerider to the Corvallis Bicycle Collective so maybe someone else in this town will be riding it soon.

Not only does my T50 serve as a shopping & errand bike with it's ability to accept 2 large panniers I also can mount our pet carrier and take our dog Fredo on rides. He enjoys running along the trails as I Cruz along at Willamette Park's leash free area.
