About this product
This is a 2005 Novara Metro City Hybrid Bike, a large 20-inch frame made from chromoly steel. It features a 700C wheel size, 24 speeds (3x8 gears), and V-brakes. The bike includes a riser bar, clincher tires, and comes equipped with a kickstand, fenders, bottle cage, and a rear bike rack. It uses grip shifters and derailleur gears, offering a non-suspension setup. The bike weighs 40 lbs and comes in blue.
Our take
This 2005 Novara Metro looks like a solid, no-nonsense hybrid bike for city commuting and casual rides. The chromoly steel frame offers a comfortable ride quality that many appreciate, and 24 speeds provide ample gearing for various urban gradients. I like the inclusion of practical features such as fenders, a kickstand, bottle cage, and a rear rack, making it ready for daily use. The V-brakes are reliable, though not as powerful as modern disc brakes. At 40 lbs, it's on the heavier side, and the grip shifters might not be everyone's preference compared to trigger shifters. It's a vintage model, so expect an older aesthetic and technology.
