Marrakesh is the fourth largest city in Morocco, Marra is my Bike Touring and city-commuter bike.
The Marrakesh Deore is purpose built for world touring and rugged exploration. It features Shimano Deore drivetrain components for proven performance on long rides, and is designed to be fully loaded. The drop bars provide more upright and relaxed riding position on the tops or hoods for all-day comfort over varied road surfaces, as well as aerodynamic benefits. It’s equipped with a bevy of attachment points for endless mounting options, and is predictable and durable. Wherever your travels take you, Marrakesh is ready to pile on the miles.

NEXT map out all the gear ratios
Shimano 3x9
Shimano Deore, 48/36/26t
Shimano Alivio HG300, 11-34t
| G | T | Small | Middle | Large |
| - | - | 26 | 36 | 48 |
| 1 | 11 | 2.364 | 3.273 | 4.364 |
| 2 | 13 | 2.000 | 2.769 | 3.692 |
| 3 | 15 | 1.733 | 2.400 | 3.200 |
| 4 | 17 | 1.529 | 2.118 | 2.824 |
| 5 | 20 | 1.300 | 1.800 | 2.400 |
| 6 | 23 | 1.130 | 1.565 | 2.087 |
| 7 | 26 | 1.000 | 1.385 | 1.846 |
| 8 | 30 | 0.867 | 1.200 | 1.600 |
| 9 | 34 | 0.765 | 1.059 | 1.412 |
So if i'm in the smallest rear and the biggest front, i'll have 4.36 tire turns for every crank turn. If I'm in the largest rear and smallest front, the bike's tire will turn 75% of a rotation for each rotation of the crank.
NEXT swap to black fenders
all black everything with a handful of color accents on it
