Just works, doesn't it.

That, and a "What he said..." about the Marin names. They may have been nothing more than decent production fodder, but there was just something a bit extra cool about the nomenclature Marin used.

Not so much 'model' names, but I've always liked the Chris Chance approach:

Fat Chance = MTB

Slim Chance = Road


Both = Brilliant...

[FMJ]

Jeff Steber's military/weapon themed names. M1 (tank) Uzzi (sub-machine gun), Tracer (bullets). Tazer (don't taze me bro).

Marin always had good names. Then again Marin County had some great trails to take a name from.

I'm thinking if Marin were based in Manchester they would have names like the.....

Chorlton water park, Mersey banks, Benchill and the Withington.

al.

I always think Marin names are a bit hit and miss;

Bobcat Trail- hit
Bear Valley- possibly from a pirate's treasure map
Pine Mountain- hit
Muirwoods- miss, it sounds like it should be a golf course.

Still better than the Marin Broadbottom though (Between Manchester and Glossop), bet that comes with a ladies saddle!

 

[supremate]

.........FOR RACING ONLY.......


If I think about it, that's the name. Hardly any better match out there between bike name and company philosophy.

I also like

........FATLANTA..........

and

........EXTREME Punisher........
