The Marin Stinson 1 LS in Teal is the vibrant counterpart to the Black Charcoal model. Beyond the eye-catching paint job, it retains the same "Comfort Control" philosophy that makes the Stinson series a favorite for casual riders.
The Small (SM) size with 27.5" wheels is designed to provide a nimble, confidence-inspiring ride for smaller-statured cyclists.
Quick Sizing: Small (SM)
Rider Height: Ideal for 5'0" to 5'4" (152cm – 163cm).
Standover Height: ~510.5 mm. The "Low-Step" frame is significantly lower than a standard bike, allowing you to step through the bike rather than over it.

What Makes the Stinson 1 LS Unique?
The Upright Ride: The combination of a high Stack (628.2 mm) and a short Reach (340 mm) on the Small frame ensures you aren't leaning forward. This takes the pressure off your neck, back, and wrists.
High-Volume Tires: The 2.35" wide tires act as a natural cushion. They are wide enough to handle loose gravel or cracks in the pavement without feeling sluggish.
Flat-Foot Technology: The geometry is designed so that when the seat is at the proper height for leg extension, you can still touch your forefoot to the ground at a stop, preventing that "tip-toe" wobble at traffic lights.
Simplicity: With only one shifter on the right handlebar (7 gears total), there is no confusing front derailleur. It’s "set it and forget it" for most neighborhood hills.
Aesthetic Note
The Teal finish is often paired with tan-wall tires or silver accents (depending on the specific production year), giving it a more "retro-beach" or "modern-classic" look compared to the stealthier Black Charcoal.
