A few months ago we mentioned the
2011 St Martin
product line including a complete bike. In the meantime the
Darwin complete bike
hit the shops and here are some long overdue details:
Frame:
100% CrMo, 18.6" TT, 11.8" CS, 75° HT, 71° ST
Fork:
100% CrMo, 0mm Offset, long steer tube
Stem:
30mm reach
Handlebar:
2 pcs, raise 8", width 24.5", low crossbar
Crank:
Tubular CrMo, 152mm, 8 splines axle, Spanish BB
Sprocket:
25T, 5mm thick alloy
Rear Hub:
Taska U-free freecoaster, sealed bearings, with 11T driver, 36H, 3/8"
Pegs:
Knurling, 38mm, 110mm, alloy, rounded end, 4 pegs
With
11kg / 24lbs
it´s not too heavy and a decent complete bike for beginners. You´ll find more details and photos on the
St Martin website

Touche.
25t radius is just under 2", 20" x 1.75" is a few tenths under 20", so visually it's confirmed too.

Not to be that guy but maybe they were thinking shorter people might be riding the bike... who really cares since there are several options now on the market for "beginner" bikes buy the one that fits your size.
