I'm a keen mountainbiker but mountain bikes are pants for road use. Without mudguards they are a wet and miserable ride to work/pub and back.

You can get hybrids that are mountain bike style but with thinner wheels (less rolling resistance - easier to pedal) road tyres and weather protection. They are less fashionable.

Suspension and disc brakes are off-road features.

Marin are excellent.

What about lights and stuff?

So many criteria, so little data.....

Tell me more young man.
