The Hamilton 29er from Marin is a sleek steel steed decked out with 29 in. wheels and a single-speed drivetrain for a versatile, utilitarian urban ride.

Sturdy chromoly frame utilizes mountain bike geometry for a heads-up ride that weaves in and out of city traffic or across campus with ease
42 x 17 single-speed drivetrain means fewer parts and less maintenance on your part; flip-flop hub lets you run it as a fixie or with a freehub
Alloy linear-pull brakes and 3-finger levers provide controlled braking power for effective speed management
Wheelset features durable double-walled rims and smooth-rolling, double-sealed hubs; puncture-resistant 29 in. tires stand up to the demands of urban riding
29 in. wheels allow you to roll over obstacles with greater ease; they also naturally increase forward momentum
WTB Vigo Sport saddle is ergonomically designed to prevent riding discomfort and numbness
Eyelets in frame and fork accept fenders or a rack (sold separately)
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.

Imported.

Comments about Marin Hamilton 29er Bike - 2010:

I love this bike! I spent a great deal of time looking for a no-nonsense, tough, versatile bike that was reasonably priced. I compared this to Tr&k's Soho, $pecialized Globe and others. Not only the cheapest, this bike has the mountain style frame I was looking for, coupled with 29's. First ride: If you're not sure about having only one cog, forget that. This bike is effortless. Accelerates quicker than you'd expect. The only time you'll wish for another gear is when your at top speed on the flats. Still, estimated top speed is about 20 mph, which is fine for me. The bike is fairly light, but no energy is lost through a derailleur so it feels lighter than it is. My only complaint is that it's not equipped with disc brakes like the cousin model, Muirwoods. But c'mon, the bike only costs [$]! I may go fixie anyways, and take them off, who knows. I'd buy this bike again, especially at this price, from one of my all time favorite retailers. [...]

Comments about Marin Hamilton 29er Bike - 2010:

Bike is a great deal, but steering column is higher than in the photo, and was shown in a cut down position for cosmetic reasons by Marin (I was given the phone number by REI to call; I called Marin about the photo discrepancy). I was surprised how high the column was actually. I was told that it is for more height options, but I would not want a narrow tube in that area pointing up if i cracked up. It seems that Marin used one size fits all for its fork and handle bar size. At the 17 inch, they seem big. Also the bike is set at a higher gear. For casual riding, it might be too high. With so much complaining, why don't I return it. I have had it only for a couple of days, with one ride in, but overall the bike seems to be a great buy for the money. Just buyer beware...
