Marin Nicasio RC
Details
Winner of a Bicycling Magazine Editor's Choice award.
Here's a great bike for rainy Portland commuting in an ultra-low-maintenance package. The Nicasio is for those looking for something different and modern, yet with traditional steel construction. Classic lines and chromoly frame tubes have the soul of a classic bike. The Nicasio RC comes with large-volume 650B tires. The 8-speed Shimano Nexus internal-gear hub provides reliability and easy maintenance, and hydraulic disc brakes offer plenty of stopping power on steep hills and inclement weather. And for the best in all-season bike commuting, the Nicasio RC comes with matching fenders to keep you clean and dry on your way about town.
Note: This model is a 2018/2019.
