    Fito or any other brand, forward peddle crank, extended frame, mens, 26 inch bicycle that I could try for fit?

    I have been unable to find any bicycle that fits me well enough to ride.

    A Beach Cruiser comes closest and I have been looking at a Fito, Marina, 7 speed, but they are only sold online and if I send it back because it doesn't fit then I have to pay shipping and a 20% restocking fee which can be pricey.

    So if anyone could help I would appreciate it.

    I have a Trek if you want to try it, but they don’t make it anymore. They quit when they bought Electra.
    I believe Bicycle Garage Indy carries Electra. The forward crank model is called the Townie.

    I missed that, I didn't know Trek made a extended frame model. I'll look it up and get back to you.

    Firmstrong and Sixthreezero still catalog extended frame bikes.

    I recently picked up an Electra Townie and am very happy with it. The forward pedal position felt weird at first but I quickly adapted and it is very comfortable. It limits your speed as the angle means you can't lean forward and "sprint". But it is much more comfortable. I bought the model with a chain guard, fenders and built in LED lights that run off a generator built into the front wheel hub.

    I was actually going to pick up a Townie, but ran across a deal on the Trek.
