My Roebling

Purchased this bike being it my first bike since the 80s. I needed something that was commuter friendly as well as a fitness and everyday cruising bike. This Roebling fits everything I needed. Very comfortable being the right frame size for my height and the simplicity for the maintenance, adjustments, repair and replace. Thank you Brooklyn Bike Company for making a nice and reliable comfortable bike for every type of riders.

Thanks Charlie. We're thrilled to hear that your Roebling fits your needs perfectly and that you're enjoying your rides. Thanks so much for sharing your positive experience with us. -Ryan Zagata

I love my bike

A true “city bike” par excellence!

I am delighted to report that I am delighted with my Franklin 8 Speed! A few weeks ago I rode it almost the entire length of Manhattan on a “Summer Streets” day, from Foley Square up to Dyckman Street in Inwood, and it was an absolute pleasure. I love the comfy upright riding position, the ease of the step-through design, and the smooth, solid gear mechanism. I’d recommend this bike to anyone looking for a practical “getting around town” ride.

Thanks for sharing Steve. I'm glad to hear you're enjoying your Franklin 8 Speed. It sounds like it's been perfect for city rides. Thanks for sharing your experience and for recommending it. See you out there. -Ryan Zagata

Comfortable grips, helpful customer service

This is an updated review because my order originally had shipping trouble and never arrived. The team at Brooklyn Bicycle reached back to help with what they could and quickly replaced the grips for me. Now that they are here they work well and are very comfortable. I appreciated the help I received and would order again!

Thanks for giving us a chance to make this right Adam. Glad you’re liking the grips. -Ryan Zagata
