That's a nice frame Velofrog 
Ready for some winter riding?
Have to get a ride out down your way soon.
Sorry Kaiser, I just had a bit of a Velo moment regards the Marin. I don't normally judge any of them if they aren't my thing, just move on really. My motley collection is maybe uninspiring from outside looking in, but to me they all mean something special, all about perspective I personally think. Hence why I don't say much if it doesn't do it for me as it may be someone else's dream machine. Don't get me wrong as I do like Marins, one of my favourites is actually a plain old Bear Valley, good honest steel. I remember when I worked in the bike shop and a Indian Fire Trail came in, even with a rack on the back it was the lightest mtb I had ever picked up I think. I just think they could do so much better with livening it up a bit these days. At least its a reasonable price.

Re: Re:
No problem with the Marin either. If I was being picky the old person beige-like colour of the frame ain't to my taste though.
But that isn't part of the actual bike design, seen plenty of cars I like in horrible colours.

I get it, I get it 
I am the odd one out here and everyone loves the Marin, except me :? :?
I still think it looks wrong and it is just not doing it for me :roll:
But hey! You uncool guys all lash at it, help yourselves
And that shall be the last I ever speak about it, the Marin 'fat faecal'

Re:
Funny thing is those aluminium 9zero7 fat bikes had a top tube off a Marin full sus. When the owner pointed it out it was obvious, they'd used the same bit of frame, must've been made in the same factory.
