Coolwall - Marin

[losidan]

a cool vote from me.....since I own and ride one daily it was a straight up one

this will not be a good result if it makes the cool wall :?

Exactly, people will look at this site and laugh. All who call themselves Retrobikers will be mocked and pelted with Alivio in the streets.

so true...rusty alivio at that :cry:

There is real gotta-have-it power here. So COOL! :roll:

I think the phrase you guys use is 'Pants'?

The marque was definitely cool (imho) late 80s/90s but faded to uncool pretty rapidly as the decade progressed....

Burn brightly and then fade away, the lot of many of the retro brands....

For me there has to be a line drawn between admiration and nostalgia and the monica of 'cool'. Yes there are some very nice models but as someone said earlier say the word Marin and does it immediately make you think WOW .......? Well for me ...errr no i'm afraid not.

As above

When I see Marins now I rate them alongside the hydroformed poop that is Trek & Giant...seriously uninspiring

Surely as this is retrobike we are voting on the old Marins :?

This is tough.

Old Marins I liked (1990-1993) but anything after just seemed a little undesirable.

I really dont know which way to vote. :?

Old or new. Still not cool. If it was a car it would be Kia or Ford Focus at best
