Component Specifications
Frame: Series 1 Comfort Low-Step, 6061 Aluminum. Features internal cable routing and multiple mounts for a rear rack, fenders, and a kickstand.
Drivetrain:Shimano 1x7-Speed. This uses a 38T front chainring and a wide-range cassette (11-34T), giving you enough range for moderate hills without the complexity of a front derailleur.
Brakes:Clark's CMD-23 or Tektro MDM280 Mechanical Disc brakes. These use standard Shimano-compatible pads, making maintenance easy at any local shop.
Tires:Vee Tire Co. Speedster, 27.5" x 2.35". The large air volume allows you to run lower pressures for a "floating" feel over bumps and cracks.
The Teal Finish: This colorway is often a "Gloss Teal" that stands out significantly more than the Charcoal version. It’s frequently paired with a plush Marin Comfort Saddle and ergonomic Marin Adventure grips designed to prevent hand numbness.
Comfort Control Geometry: This is the "secret sauce" of the Stinson. By moving the pedals slightly forward and slackening the seat tube angle, Marin allows you to keep your seat high enough for a full leg extension while pedaling, but still reach the ground with your feet when you stop.
Ease of Use: The "LS" (Low-Step) design means the top tube is dropped almost to the bottom bracket, making it one of the easiest bikes to step through on the market—perfect if you're carrying a bag on a rear rack or wearing restrictive clothing.
