I am selling as I'm going to buy a super fast red corvette to alleviate my mid-life crisis! 
I literally just purchased this 5-weeks ago from original owner, paid $700 CDN, at that point when I brought it home I recognized the owner had enjoyed the bike, however had forgotten basic maintenance, what I've done since:
*(ALL original pieces to be included in sale of the bike) -
•Replaced the front drive with a Patterson Metropolis drive
•Replaced the factory steering tiller with Freerider handlebars - awesome ride position
•Added new seat frame edge material
•Stripped down nuts and bolts, cleaned and reinstalled using anti-seize where necessary
•Replaced all cables & housings with new, quality pieces
•New SRAM X7, 9-speed mid-length cage deraileur
•New SRAM, 9-speed thumb shift (require 1:1), smooth, crisp shift now
•New Alex AL190, 700C rims
•New Vittoria Zaffiro 80-PSI tires
•New front and rear lights
All in all, i've spent over $500 in new parts, yes I get that I can't recover that but I will hope to recover the cost of the bike + a portion of new parts installed.
(*Rear TERN Truss/bag support and bag not included at this point)
Cruzebike, is a special breed, BUT with the Freerider handlebars, it takes less time to learn to ride than without (IMHO), but all in all, it rides very smooth, crisp, quiet and gets a TON of questions and thumbs up!
Cons:
Original owner did allow for some scuffs and marks during his time riding, while they are not very bad, I am far too anal about these things, I considered painting it, but as of this day, have not painted the bike nor will I but I see them, you may not.
I have also posted to BROL as well for those that have been over there recently.
I will be back and likely with a Silvio (if I can find one used here).
