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.

Comfortable, Reliable, and Stylish

Our essential city bike is a fan favorite for getting around town without working up a sweat. Stylish and utilitarian, the Franklin 3 enables riders of all stripes to simply hop on and go. The step-through frame and color-matched fenders ensure easy riding sans wardrobe restrictions, while the lightweight design makes for smooth travel from brunch, to the office, and everywhere in between. With a low-maintenance 3-speed internally geared hub and puncture-resistant tires allowing you to conquer varied terrain, this bike is as versatile as it is stylish.

Great question, and one we are asked often. You may have noticed that the Franklin 3 and the Franklin 8 are the same price-- this isn't a mistake! The Franklin 3 features a 3-speed internally geared rear hub (hello, super low-maintenance and ultra-durability), while the Franklin 8 features a 1x8 drivetrain with an external derailleur (hello, wider gearing range). There's a trade-off between the two, but the better choice will truly depend upon your use case. The Willow 3 is essentially a more premium-version of the Franklin 3. It features a different frame material, upgraded saddle and grips, a rear carrier, and cream tires. 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.
