The color alone is bright, vibrant, and full of personality and it turns heads every time I ride. I’m transitioning from a beach cruiser to a city bike, and the Franklin 8 has made that shift effortless. It’s the smoothest ride I’ve ever experienced and it truly glides like butter, even on San Diego’s bumpy streets.
I needed a bike that could keep up with our crew (my husband and our friends are serious riders!), and this one delivers. From meetups in Mid-City to cruising through Balboa Park, the Franklin 8 handles it all. I especially love that it has both backpedal and handlebar brakes are perfect for my comfort and confidence as I level up my riding game.
Delivery and setup were seamless. Brooklyn Bicycle Co. arranged for a local shop to assemble it, and it was ready in record time. I even received a proactive email from their team offering a refund for an accessory I had ordered that wasn’t compatible. Who does that anymore?! Truly kind and generous icons.
I took advantage of the Warehouse Deal and honestly… I can’t find a single imperfection. This bike is perfection.
10/10 recommend!! I’m officially a lifelong fan of Brooklyn Bicycle Co!!
