I bought this for my 14 year old daughter on her birthday. I have shopped for a bike in the $300 to $450 range, both new and used, and this is by far the best deal I could have hoped for... with one of the many discounts STP offers, I am very pleased with what I paid and the quality of the bike. My daughter loves the color to boot... I won all around.

Loved the bike, got it at 50% off during one of the deal flyer offers. Great bike, no need to take to bike shop as it came assembled - just had to install front wheel, pedals and handle bar.

This is a good looking bike with a great functional design. I've had this bike for over a year in the matte steal colour. It definitely catches people's eyes when I'm biking around the city. Even gets the occasional comments. Everything on this bike was designed with the commute in mind. Comes with all the important accessories- front/back fenders, LED back light. The only thing I added was a bell. It's also compatible with fender racks if you want to add that. The components are descent if not high end. Lower end Shimano stuff but they work well and gears shift smoothly and quickly. Durability may be an issue over time compared to higher end components. The bike comes with low resistance tires with puncture shield. I find they roll quite well on pavement. Seating position is mix between a mountain bike and cruiser/comfort bike. You're not as low on the handle bars as a mountain bike, but the more upright position makes its more comfortable on your back for an urban commute. The handle bar position can be customized so you can find a seating position you like. The only downsides to this bike other than the lower grade Shimano components are that it comes with lots of stickers. I removed some of them because I didn't want the bike looking too flashy for the bike thieves. It's also not the most nimble bike if you compare to a road bike. This is due mainly to the fact that its not as light and the tires are a bit wider than a road bike. It's still fairly lightweight compared to mountain bikes and other hybrid bikes. This is a highly recommended urban commuter bike.

This is my first bike since college so it's difficult to rate. I'm almost learning to ride all over again. It seems like a good bike and so far I'm having fun. Fortunately my son was able to put it together for me because I never would have been able to do it myself. The gears are easy to use and the brakes work well; the bike is nice looking and the fenders keep rain/mud from splattering. Overall, a good road/commuting bike.

This is a great bike for the price, since it comes with fenders to keep you dry and it seems well-built. My issue was that upon delivery, there were no instructions provided on how to complete the bike assembly. Also, the battery that came with the taillight included on the bike seat was DOA on my bike.

Not a bad Bike if you are looking for a budget Bike yet look nice and ride smooth

Fast commuter that will keep you clean without having to accessorize it.

Has a great set of gears, top of the line components including Shimano Deore components. Very light. Marin is a little known but highly respected company!

Great bike for my commute to work and riding on our city's bike path. Love how light it is. I'm diggin my new, snappy ride!

This bike feels wonderful for city commuting. But from the start, I had several flat tires, then spokes keep breaking. There must be something wrong with the specs on the hub/spokes/rims. (I do not jump curbs or hit potholes)
