Specialized Globe Carmel 3 Womens 2010 - Comfort Bike

The Globe Carmel has rapidly become a firm favourite in the Specialized range for its friendly looks and 'has to be ridden to be apreciated' levels of comfort. This is as close to armchair as a bike gets; a low bottom bracket and extra long frame gives cruiser like stability, an extra low standover height frame offers security and maximum ease of getting on and off whilst modern design, materials and components mean that the Globe Carmel is far from limited to cruising the promenade.

  What is a Comfort Bike?
  Despite looking like a mountain bike these are designed for a more relaxed and comfortable style of riding. Recommended for on road and some light, off road use such as on towpaths, cycle paths, and parks. Some manufacturers also call them All Terrain Bikes or ATB. For more information on comfort bikes see our Comfort Bikes Buying Guide.

Occasionally, without notice, manufacturers change product design and/or specifications.
