Full rigid 90's Stumpjumper vs full rigid 90's Marin? Any other decent quality full rigid 90's brands that won't break the bank?

I always find 90s Marins are dull to ride. I’d go for a steel Stumpy personally.

Do you mean for off roaming? Asking as I’ll just be using it for fairly flat riding canal tow paths etc….

KHS. True temper steel: massively underrated.

Trek, again much underrated.

Just boring really. No excitement. They never gave me the urge to let rip / go faster. Depends what you style of bike you want, donkey, cart horse or race horse!

Yeah, see my neutral comment on page 1. They don’t feel as sprightly as something like an Orange but that’s fine if you just want a comfortable cruiser.

Thanks for the comments. Obvs it isn’t a road bike but do you mean you find them sluggish off road or just in general?
