HOW TO MEASURE YOUR INSEAM:

The MOST IMPORTANT measurement when sizing a bike is your inseam length. Don't base your inseam simply on your jean size. The more precise, the better.

1. Stand with your back against a wall and spread your feet 6"- 8" apart.

2. Place a book between your legs and up against the wall, spine up; raise it until snug against your crotch (this mimics your bike seat).

3. Have another person measure from the top of the book (spine) down to the floor.

4. We strongly encourage viewing this YouTube video on how to properly measure your inseam.

Great question, and one we are asked often. You may have noticed that the Franklin 8 and the Franklin 3 are the same price-- this isn't a mistake! The Franklin 8 features a 1x8 drivetrain with an external derailleur (hello, wider gearing range), while the Franklin 3 features a 3-speed internally geared rear hub (hello, super low-maintenance). There's a trade-off between the two, but the better choice will truly depend upon your use case. The Willow 7 is a beast of its own and features an internally geared 7-speed rear hub, hydraulic disc brakes, and an aluminum frame. You can read more about the similarities and differences here.

Absolutely! Step-through models are well suited for carrying cargo because they're so easy to mount without having to throw your leg over a top tube. This makes mounting a rear child seat a breeze. NOTE: We always recommend using the rear carrier from the child seat manufacturer as it will have been tested for load capacity.
