Front End Lontail Geometry Comparison

*Step-Thru (aka Ladies) style frames allow for easy dismount with large bulky loads.
Basically, you ain't gonna swing your leg over the seat with a kid on back!

The Radish is a good quality bike and worth the money. Xtracycle is improving the front end geometery for the next run. However, without front gears the stock version is not good for Seattle. Note: Front gears can be added for about $150-$200.

Please note: We will special order a Radish for you if you really want one, but we recommend that you buy it direct from them. They will ship it to us for assembly. That way, you save, money, they make money, we make money and your bike gets assembled to our legendary standards! Win-Win-Win!
