The Marin Ignacio single-speed bike combines track bike design with city-friendly, deep-section rims and subtle style for a great ride anywhere on the urban landscape.

Track-inspired steel frame is built tough to withstand the demands of urban environs while offering a smooth, responsive ride
Single-speed drivetrain consists of Sugino Track cranks with a 42-tooth chainring driving a 17-tooth freewheel for unbeatable utilitarian simplicity
Flip-flop rear hub can be turned over and run with the 17-tooth fixed gear
Tektro caliper brakes with Road levers make quick, responsive work of slowing you down when the situation calls for deceleration
Alex Race28 deep-section aero rims are laced up to high-flange hubs for improved performance on tough city streets
Other goodies include WTB Devo HP Comp saddle and matching bar tape for coordinated styling
Specs are subject to change

After its initial break-in period you might notice your bicycle performing less responsively than the day you brought it home. Not to worry, this is typical of all new bicycles and simply reflects that cables have stretched or their housings have seated themselves into final position. To keep running at peak performance, all REI bicycles come with a FREE warranty tune-up, which should be accomplished between the first 100-200 miles of riding or after the first two months if you're accumulating miles less quickly. Contact your nearest REI bike shop for details and an appointment for this important service.

Comments about Marin Ignacio Bike - 2009:

I've had the Ignacio a few weeks now, using it to dart about Brooklyn on errands, visiting friends and for occasional single-speed workouts when not on my roadbike.

Craftsmanship & build: welds are clean, really nice black paint, wheels are true out-of-the-box and staying that way. Some nice components, especially the sugino cranks and nitto bars. There are some other well-made urban track-influenced bikes out there, but I went with this one for its understated, classic look. And, you don't see many of these around, which is nice if you like having something a little more exclusive.

Great saddle: the WTB Devo saddle may be the best feature, it has a nice blend of good-looks and comfort.

Performance-wise, it feels quick, handles like you'd expect. It's a simple style of bike and performs accordingly. Brakes stop the bike adequately.

Note on fit: the steerer-tube comes with a generous 4cm of spacers, which makes for comfortable positioning out-of-the-box. I'm going to cut 2cm off the steerer 'cause I like a little more drop. Cutting it down further would allow.

Slight downsides: Wish it came with a quick-release on the front-wheel. Seat tube uses an integrated collar, which works just as well, but I would prefer using my own collar.
