I didn't mean that mountain bikes are good for cities, all I meant was that I feel like there should be more city bikes that draw a relatively straight line between the back wheel and stem (e.g. the trek Marin geometry). it seems like a good cross between a diamond and a step through
- ciupicri 3y agoI know what you meant, but my point still stands. From what I've seen road bicycles seem to be the tallest, while hardcore mountain bikes tend to the shortest. For example, looking at medium - large sizes, Trek Marlin 8 Gen 3 [1] has a standover of ~750mm, while Nukeproof Scout [2] has one of just ~710mm.
