"Marin Bikes makes a wide range of bikes for all types of riding. While the brand may be better known for its mountain bikes, Marin produces a variety of affordable city bikes, townies, and commuters, too. The Muirwoods has been a staple in the brand's urban/commuter lineup for several years as a no-nonsense, rigid steel-framed, flat-bar, 700c city bike. Just recently, Marin introduced a 27.5" wheeled version of Muirwoods, expanding its surface versatility and opening the door for more shenanigans on your commute."
"The new 27.5-inch Muirwoods shares the same classic silhouette as its larger wheeled sibling. The frame is made with Series 1 4130 CrMo steel, which they refer to as " Steezy Butted CrMo ". It has been designed around 27.5-inch wheels and reportedly has clearance for tires up to 2.8" wide. In typical Marin fashion, the Muirwoods has a wealth of bottle, accessory, fender, and rack mounts on the frame and fork."
"According to the geometry chart, the Muirwoods 27.5 has an identical geometry to the 700c version. The numbers are pretty typical of a rigid, flat-bar city bike, although the 67.5-degree head tube angle sets it apart from many dedicated commuter rigs. Otherwise, the numbers aren't creeping into full-on mountain bike territory."
The Muirwoods 27.5 uses a Series 1 4130 CrMo "Steezy Butted CrMo" steel frame built around 27.5-inch wheels with reported clearance for up to 2.8-inch tires. The bike retains a rigid, flat-bar layout and the classic Muirwoods silhouette while adding capability for hopping curbs, dropping small stair sets, and light skate-park or off-pavement detours. The frame and fork include numerous bottle, accessory, fender, and rack mounts. Geometry mirrors the 700c Muirwoods with a 67.5-degree head tube angle, and the model is offered in four sizes, S to XL, in a gold finish.
