God I love the Marin Mount Vision! When I had mine, it was a real head turner, firstly when you're n the start line of a marathon you get the amused looks because MTB philistines assume it's a £99.99 catalogue special, and a second time when you pass them on the first climb.
I regret selling mine a few years back, but the wife was nagging me about 3 bikes being too many and I had to lose one to keep the peace. Now I have a bit more space (and a better system to obscure the true number of bikes and parts in my collection) I think I'd quite like to build myself another Mount Vision.
Is jimwise68's Mount Vision a 21 inch frame? Quite a rare size, it seems.
