Road Test/Bike Review (1989) Seven Hybrids -- Intro / BIANCHI Tangent
Bicycle Guide (Jun 1989) featured a section reviewing the latest hybrid (road/mtb, CX, dirt road, whatever...) bikes. The bikes reviewed were BIANCHI Tangent, FISHER Hybrid, BRUCE GORDON Rock 'n Road, MIYATA Alumicross, OFFROAD Climber, SEROTTA Slicker Cross, and SPECIALIZED Rock Combo. This multi-article, multi-author section lumped all bike specs near the end and concluded with the split-page sidebar Blatant Opinions. I'm going to organize it all my way by posting the Intro and first bike with its specs brought forward. Over the next few days I'll make separate Road Test / Bike Review posts of the other 6 bikes in a similar manner. If you prefer to have the real deal, I'll include a link to the PDF of the complete article in the final post of this topic.
This post presents the section Intro followed by the BIANCHI Tangent review and its specs.
