A Different Breed of Hybrid
My wife has always preferred the ergonomics of a cruiser bike, but never has liked the weight penalty that comes with every cruiser. What she wanted was a performance cruiser. Nobody makes one, so I set out to build her one. A carbon fiber Marin hybrid frame with FSA Carbon Cranks. A performance cruiser that tips the scales at 21 pounds.
