Parksville
The Lombard is a comfortable bike that cover a wide range of uses. Great for commuting, touring, and everyday riding.
Part adventure bike, and part urban warrior. Born from cyclocross and touring parents, the Lombard can tackle the weekly commute as well as stretch its legs to venture out on weekend road or gravel adventures.
A wide-range SRAM Apex/X7 drivetrain has the durability of mountain bike components on a drop-bar bike, and the mixed-tread Schwalbe G-ONE 35c tires provide speed and secure handling both on road and off. Tektro Spyre-C disc brakes provide all-condition performance and a unique reflective decal system helps keep you visible while riding at night.
The Top Bridge trails are a great place to ride for the beginner to intermediate rider with a few k of trails on both sides of the river.
