The Marin is interesting though I've been mostly looking at road bikes, not hybrid bikes. I might need to expand what I'm looking at. -- nm - Krusty May 7, 08:45 6
- unless you've got nice pavement, a cyclocross bike or hybrid of some kind is going to be a better ride than a road bike. -- nm - colin May 7, 08:51 5
  - I also have a concern about weight as I have to carry it up and down stairs as well as on and off the subway sometimes. - Krusty May 7, 08:55 4
    - understand that... aluminum frame should be okay.. cyclocross is a road frame, just has a fat fork, big tires.. adds about 1 lb to it -- nm - colin May 7, 08:57 3
      - and to some extent cyclocross bikes are meant to be carried -- nm - JD May 7, 08:59 2
        
        I'll be honest and say I don't even know what a cyclocross bike is! :-) I'm reading about them but I was picturing some chunky off road bike. -- nm - Krusty May 7, 09:05
        
        too true -- nm - colin May 7, 09:05
