Marin Fairfax opinions

Anyone has experience with the Marin Fairfax bike? they look pretty decent and for the price, comes with Carbon forks!

Anyone know how heavy is this bike? I'm guessing around 25lbs given there is no disc brakes and it's rigid forks.

I bought one about 3 weeks ago. It's my first bike in about 30 years, just getting back into cycling now. I like it, but am still getting the seat and handlebar positions dialed in. It is fairly light for a hybrid, but I haven't weighed it. It has a nice ride, easy to get going fast and it feels pretty solid. The 28 width tires are just about right for road riding. They have a bit of tread and feel fast but secure.

Brakes and gears work fine if they are kept adjusted properly.

So with only 4 or 5 rides so far I think it is a good bike for the money. And the carbon fork is a nice feature at this price.
