"Inspired by vintage European touring bikes, Electra's Ticino 8D incorporates beautiful classic touches. Details like the sweet-riding diamond frame, upright tourist handlebars, a hand-brazed chromoly fork and hammered fenders show off its retro styling. Meanwhile, the modern touches make the Ticino ride like a dream. The lightweight aluminum frame and 8-speed drivetrain mean nimble handling, plenty of get-up-and-go, and easy climbing too. Best, the ride is relaxed and upright. Designed to be lightweight, comfortable and roll easy on 700c wheels, the Ticino is meant for everyday use."
