Polygon 8 speeds + hydraulic brake+ cheaper price vs marin 7 speeds + mechanical brake + more expensive.

The crankset for polygon TA-CQ68 is not steel but aluminum. I not sure you copy the spec from where but beware, a lot bike shop like to change the original spec also.

Both crankset are very entry level, if chainring spoil, you gonna change whole set.

Thanks for the reply, i copied the spec from rodalink webpage.

It seems Polygon cascade 4 is the better buy but i dont really like the colour and seems the tyre is thinner than Marin.

If i stretch my budget to 1.8k ,any other suggestion for this budget?

Thanks
