{"product_id":"public-c9","title":"C9 Aluminum","description":"\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PUBLIC C9-AL (Aluminum) is a sleeker version of our best-selling city bike and our lightest-weight step-through frame to date.  This smart, lightweight commuter uses a modern frame design and is well-suited for breezing through errands around the city as well as longer commutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PUBLIC C9-AL is our best step-through city bike, with more performance than ever and unbeatable value.  We went back to the drawing board with a totally redesigned frame made from PUBLIC premium aluminum tubing. The Shimano 9-speed drivetrain provides a wider range of gears to conquer even steeper hills and longer distances, and the Rapid-fire trigger shifter provides quick, effortless shifting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo keep this bike trim and sleek, we swapped in a lighter-weight saddle and commuter-tested handlebars while nixing the fenders, chain guard and kickstand altogether. Weighing in at just 25lbs, the PUBLIC C9-AL is a full 5lbs lighter than our average steel bike.  This weight savings makes a big difference when you’re carrying the bike up or down stairs or during your regular commute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis walk-up-apartment-friendly commuter features a low entry design that makes it easy to put a foot down when stopped, and allows you to get on and off the bike with ease in everyday attire. Puncture-resistant commuter bike tires deliver our signature smooth ride, even on rough city streets, and strong dual-pivot caliper brakes let you ride hard and stop on a dime in any traffic jam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLastly, front and rear rack mounts are included to accommodate a range of baskets and cargo racks, so you can let the bike do all of the heavy lifting (racks not included). You'd be hard-pressed to find a better bike at such an affordable price, with thoughtful design and quality components normally found on bikes costing much more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith refinements in style and performance, we can confidently say the PUBLIC C9-AL is the best commuter bike available whether you’re going uptown, downtown, or all-around town.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Public Bikes","offers":[{"title":"Cream \/ Small\/Medium","offer_id":33117717725247,"sku":"PUB-45514","price":649.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Cream \/ Medium\/Large","offer_id":33117717692479,"sku":"PUB-45516","price":649.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Slate Blue \/ Small\/Medium","offer_id":32342264250431,"sku":"PUB-45502","price":649.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Slate Blue \/ Medium\/Large","offer_id":32342264152127,"sku":"PUB-45504","price":649.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/1399\/4815\/products\/PUBLIC-C9-Aluminum-Commuter-Bike_Cream_01_1800x1200_551ed3e8-d320-4284-bdd3-a92fb3d5233f.jpg?v=1602102588","url":"https:\/\/publicbikes.mom\/products\/public-c9","provider":"Public Bikes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
