URBAN:
Matte black and gun-metal tones are integral to the design of Marin's Urban series. Durable steel and alloy frames utilize the hydroforming and Edge 2 shaping process to yield bikes that are bomb-proof solid and designed to take the abuse of every day city riding. Not as relaxed as the geometry and fi t of more traditional City bike frames, the Urban series has proven itself to be the bike of choice amongst those accustomed to the ride and feel of a mountain bike.

Nice bike. | |
| Rating: |  |
| I've had the Ignacio a few weeks now, using it to dart about Brooklyn on errands, visiting friends and for occasional single-speed workouts when not on my roadbike. Craftsmanship & build: welds are clean, really nice black paint, wheels are true out-of-the-box and staying that way. Some nice components, especially the sugino cranks and nitto bars. There are some other well-made urban track-influenced bikes out there, but I went with this one for its understated, classic look. And, you don't see many of these around, which is nice if you like having something a little more exclusive. Great saddle: the WTB Devo saddle may be the best feature, it has a nice blend of good-looks and comfort. Performance-wise, it feels quick, handles like you'd expect. It's a simple style of bike and performs accordingly. Brakes stop the bike adequately. Note on fit: the steerer-tube comes with a generous 4cm of spacers, which makes for comfortable positioning out-of-the-box. I'm going to cut 2cm off the steerer 'cause I like a little more drop. Cutting it down further would allow. Slight downsides: Wish it came with a quick-release on the front-wheel. Seat tube uses an integrated collar, which works just as well, but I would prefer using my own collar. | |
