Buddy985, killer bike trail! What locale is that? ✌️

[@kevinrojo4663]

Have you had any problems with it so far? How fast can you get on it? Thinking of buying one

[@BVL4JC]

No major problems, had to replace some small parts that broke on me. It’s not too fast since it’s pretty heavy, the fastest I’ve had is 33 mph down a hill. I’d say it’s good for recreational riding. Thanks

[@derekjolly3680]

Sometimes the weight helps for speed down a hill. I've had a 55 pound e-bike coasting down a hill to 39MPH, but it was the steepest around here. Without a speedometer I'm guessing my 35 pound Marin hybrid would of made the same speeds on the other (lesser) ones; 33 or more. What that takes for me is confidence in the stability of the bike and the tires. To me even steel road bikes are light. 35 to 25 pounds is 2/7th less weight which would seem like featherweight at first.

[@derekjolly3680]

Ok so what broke on the OM parts? Also how much use before they did break on you?

[@jupiter6647]

ANY bike goes as fast as the rider can push it, the bike is an inanimate object until the rider pedals it.

[@SwyvCrux]

Hows the derailure, shifters drive train? I want one but hear they crap. Not many 80s steel to choose from at affordable price

[@BVL4JC]

It’s okay, it has some issues shifting on certain gears, I should take it into a shop really. But I’d prefer a more modern shifter

[@SwyvCrux]

@@BVL4JC I may buy anyway and upgrade later. 22lbs 10 ounce on their site. Seems pretty light for a steel bike. I personally just like older looks.

[@BVL4JC]

Go for it! It’s a good bike! Mine weighs around 25lbs

[@derekjolly3680]

I just had some work done on my six year old Marin hybrid. My gearing issues were slow to come but irritated me. The bike shop repairman I took it to replaced the chain, the rear cassette, and I think one of the cables too. He didn't get it right the first time, but he got it nice after it was obviously a cassette problem. There was some distortion wear on the teeth probably from all the stand ups for the hills around here.

[@derekjolly3680]

I think the old school shifter is an asset. Very uncomplicated and true to form.

[@Aroyer1988]

How has this been treating you over the past few months?

[@BVL4JC]

It’s been holding up well, no problems with it, solid bike. Thanks.

[@4zn1nv4zn3]

how does downshifting feel? you still use this bike?

[@BVL4JC]

Downshifting feels okay. I actually haven’t ridden it in a while.

[@RH-vd3yu]

How tall are you and whats the bike size?

[@BVL4JC]

5'9 and purchased the 55 cm
