Hi,
I was interested in the Marin Point Reyes after a doing of research for a bike which I could use for cycling quite a lot on country roads and light trail riding, but definitely not any mountain biking - Is the Point Reyes a good bike for this sort of activity.

Thanks, Pat

looks pretty suitable to me; might want to stick some semi-slicks or skinny mtb tyres on it though?

Great ! Thanks for the reply and info Dan - Pat

thinking about it though, for that money you could get a real mountain bike with suspension fork with a lockout. By doing that it'll be fine for country roads and towpaths etc but if you want you have the potential to go off-road in comfort? If you're worried about knobly tyres on the road then buy some semi-slicks; ultimately you've still got the potential to do more off roady stuff if you want to. If you buy the Marin then you're limiting yourself.
(sorry to confuse matters!)
