Our take on the Marin Fairfax 1 Urban Bike

We know that buying your dream bike or electric bike isn't a snap decision - that's why we offer free test rides in each of our four London bike shops.
We've made booking a test ride easy with our online system. Start by choosing a date and time that suits you, followed by your preferred location and finally, the model or bike type that interests you.
Once you have purchased your new bike from us, it will be put into the build queue for one of our workshops. Your bike will be built and will undergo a Pre Delivery Inspection (PDI) by one of our expert mechanics. A PDI is a checklist that the mechanic follows to confirm that all parts of your new bike are up to our high standards.
Next, your bike will be prepared for shipping. Padding is used on all the necessary areas and your bike is loaded into a sturdy cardboard bike box. All the necessary paperwork and accessories will be packed inside too. Most of our cardboard and packaging are recycled from incoming deliveries. Bikes are usually delivered by DPD within the UK.
In order to package your bike safely, you will need to do a small amount of assembly when it arrives. It can vary from bike to bike, but usually you’ll need to: fit the front wheel, install the handlebars and fit the pedals. Please note that not all bikes come with pedals - please check the specification on each bike, we’ll include it on there.

Product Description
The Fairfax 1 kicks things off with an alumnium frame (with mounts for mudguards and a pannier rack) and a steel fork, again with eyelets for mudguards and a rack. Brakes are mechanical disc, as you'd expect at this price point, but offer plenty of force when you need to come to a stop.
There's enough gearing at the rider's disposal too, 21 to be exact, with ratios such that steep climbs are that little bit easier. 35mm wide tyres are wide enough to cope with rough urban routes, but not so chunky that they'll hold you back when you get going.
A Marin saddle, grips and pedals finish off the Fairfax 1.
