The Belvedere is ideal for those riders who want a fast bike for use on the road, but dont want a drop handlebar.

Based on a road bike, the Belvedere is an aluminium frame, with triple butted tubes, with the tubing thinning in the middle before being reinforced at around the welds; the area's which take the stress and strain. The tubing uses Marin's 'Edge Tubing', which creates a sleek and stylish frame with smooth lines.

The drivetrain uses Shimano EZ Fire 8 Speed shifters, with Shimano Acera mechs for reliable shifting, and a Shimano Triple chainset, for a wide range of 24 gears.

The brakes are the reliable Shimano Acera V-Brakes, with a Marin Gel saddle aiding ride comfort.

The Belvedere is a good choice for those looking for a fast commuter bike, fitness riding at the weekend or for those doing long rides, such as Lands End - John O'Groats.
