Touring

The Four Corners is built for the adventure rider looking to explore deep off of the beaten path, sleep outdoors, and be ready for whatever pavement, dirt road, or light singletrack is around the next corner. The heads-up bar position and generous braze-ons that make it possible to live on the bike for days at a time are equally at home on the daily commute. Bottle/Gear Mounts Fork leg bottle or accessory cage mounts on the base Four Corners, along with traditional front triangle bottle mounts (three on sizes M-XL, two on XS-S) provide up to six bottle cage mounts total. Disc Brakes Disc brakes provide smooth, controlled stopping in all conditions with minimal maintenance Steel is Real The Four Corners uses butted and formed Series 1 4130 CrMo frames specially tuned for loaded touring with upright geometry for comfortable and efficient all-day rides.

The Marin Gestalt is a great choice: very speedy and well made, versatile enough for day to day commuting and even a loaded tour here and there. The Gestalts are speedy, aluminum frame all-road bikes with Tiagra groupsets and disc brakes. They're designed primarily for endurance riding so are durable and have all the mounts you need for gear, as well as a slightly more upright stance for comfort on day-long rides on pavement and/or gravel. Unlike some of the more rugged gravel bikes out there, the Gestalts skew towards more classic road geometry and spec, so they're light and quick daily commuter bikes too.
