When I was around 15 I became quite attached to Marin bikes and lusted after one until buying a 93 Palisades Trail.
The brochure, the bumf about race-bred, lightweight innovations and the American location really sold it to me. As well as my friends also having them at the time (a Eldridge Grade and Bear valley).
When I went to America many years later I was lucky enough to visit Marin country and spent a day in Sausalito, however I never made it to the legendary John Muir national parks.
So when I’m a bit bored and when I buy another Marin, I like to find out where they are from and take a look at the inspirational places.
So far I have found:
It makes me think about these early pioneers racing their clunkers down these crazy paths.
I told you it was boring
But it really amazes me that there is an Eldridge Grade that you can walk/ride down and a Shoreline Trail and Indian Fire Road.
Anyone else this obsessed with their brand?
