| Mark; it is impossible to stand up on the pedals, but otherwise I think you're probably right about it being more of a CF, not a CLWB, depending on how accurate BluesCat's definition of CLWB is. But it filled up the Forum topic nicely, don't you think? I'll get out my tape measure this afternoon after work and measure hub-to-hub, if that would shed any light on anything. One thing's for sure, though - whatever technical category it might eventually find itself in, it meets and exceeds all criteria for the category of SWEEEET!

| That's all that counts, that it fits your bill! I think it's a fine looking bicycle. Mark

| Nightturkey: Hey! I just thought of sumthin'! Y'all are aware I'm trying to get my lovely (and forgiving) wife to get back in the saddle again... Do you think a 5'2" gal would be comfortable on the EZ-Sunray? Heck, CF is the biggest advantage of cruisers, and I found the EZ-Sunray to be just as easy to ride as an Electra, and the price would DEFINITELY work in my favor. Whattaya think? BluesCat  . |

| My wife is 5'-0" and she doesn't want to ride a bike where her feet can't touch the ground flat-footed. On the SunRay the seat adjusts so that she fits it (and it fits her) just fine. Go for it! Oh - and hub to hub it's 54", compared with 44" for my Taiwan Red and 42" for my Peugeot DF.

Alright!
Now, my favorite LBS says they will get another Sunray in in the Spring. If I can just get them to up the schedule a bit, one Saturday morning, soon, I'll say:
"Hey, Hon. Let's take the truck, I need to drop off the bike for the free checkup."
... Then: "Why, look at THIS, Sweetheart! Golly! It looks just like mine ... "
... "Say, why don't you hop aboard and give it a shot. You KNOW how much I've been saying how EASY it is!"
Yeah, yeah, I think I got it!

| FIRST HUNDRED MILES REPORT: No Carpal Tunnel problems, No Recum-butt, no back pain, just one of the world's most comfortable rides (for me, anyway). In the words of ...well, somebody, "We've got a winner here, folks!" BluesCat, I think the wife will like it. I have yet to name the critter; as my other bike is named "Taiwan Red", this one needs to have a "Blue" name. I'm sure I'll think of something as time-and-a-half goes by.

| Nightturkey: Thanks for the report. I'm going to talk to my LBS about when they're going to get another one in. Heck, if I can swing it, I might just go ahead have them order one for me and have them put it out on the floor when I drag her in there. A name with "Blue' in it ... hmmm ... Blues ... something ... gosh ... it's coming to me ...  _________________ BluesCat ----->  2008 Sun EZ Sport CX - "Bluetiful", 2001 Giant Yukon SE - "The Roadley", 1986 Batavus Course - "DutchGrl"---------0 ---------\__^o\ ------(*)`"''"""(*) |
