My post on 5/5/13 is the last post on this forum. I read the BentRider Online, but I also enjoy reading posts from other Easy Racer riders on this forum, but perhaps it is slowly withering away.

I check this forum often for new posts, but not much happening. It is a valuable reference base.

I would like to see Easy Racers do some posting. Maybe about the improvements to the different models they have touted. They do post to their Facebook page.

Gmike68,

I have read various reports on the updates to the Easy Racer bicycles. For examples, (1) changing the bottom, two-tube design to a larger mono-tube, and (2) changing the head tube to a threadless 1.25". You can see photos of the mono-tube for the TI-rush, but the Easy Racer shop still shows a two-tube GRR. I have also seen a fancy version of the Sprinter Seat (covered with Zote foam - I think) on BROL. The Easy Racer Facebook site is more active than this Forum, but it does not provide many details concerning the updates to their bicycles. Fast Freddy also posted several posting on BROL implying he was back working at Easy Racers.

I understand that Easy Racers is small business, but I would like for more information on their product updates. I scrape together my information by reading BROL posts.

They are killing their business not keeping the consumer informed.

I hear you guys. I've raised exactly these same issues, several times, over the years.

They have been met with silence, and one time I was actually chastised for it. They actually posted that it was a private company and that they didn't have to tell me / us what was going on. If I had a specific question I should call.

So, I responded by buying an ICE Vortex and letting my Fold Rush mostly just sit.

They are correct, it is a private company and they can do whatever they want. But I also have a vote by keeping my money in the savings account, which is what I have been doing.

Sad.

Joe

Lenny,

I think Easy Racers is more responsive to phone calls than Internet postings. I purchased my GRR from Easy Racer about 5 years ago, and I had pleasant experiences on phone calls. Modern businesses have to strike a balance between personal interactions (phone calls and in-store visits) and Internet interactions.
