Marin Fairfax SC3 2018 - Worth buying?

[Jack Brown]

I am looking to purchase a new road bike, I recently found a £400 Marin Fairfax SC3 (2018 Version). Now I must admit that I have an affinity for Marins so the brand may be clouding my judgement, so I was wondering if you could let me know whether you feel it is worth the money?

The specs are in the attached image.

Thanks,
Jack

Re:

I don't think the brand is clouding your judgement: it looks pretty good spec for the money to me. Shimano hydraulic brakes rather than cheaper Promax ones, etc. Just a bit better spec than others at the same sort of price. If you think it's the right bike for you, go for it. It's not a rip off.
