We love this bike. For it's positioning (40mm fat tyres, but road-oriented), it's reflective paint, its ride, but all told, for its value. This is what Marin says: "...tough, fast rigs for urban riding, the Lombard can take you to work day in and day out to your get you to your destination, and take abuse without blinking. Bulit-in reflectivity keeps you visible from all directions, and thanks to the durable components and higher-volume tires, you can treat the city like a playground."
This affordable, commuter-friendly bike comes with an aluminium frame and fork, 9 speed Sora with mechanical discs, 48/32 front (and chainguard!), 11-34 rear.
