Really never been sure about the look of the B17's, It's also got a lot of travel for a single pivot bike.
However I am a fan of the understated red/black scheme...

I probably would have given it a higher score but I've also gone through 2 sets of Hussefelt cranks

Giant mtb said on 4 April 2009
This just looks wicked! i have got a 2000 marin alpine trail. I would do the same to that, but the frame's broken, so i can only use the rear shock and the swing arm if i want to do something out of it! anyway lovely bike mate, check out mine if you want!:)

Love what you've done to the bike, bet it rides awesome, try get hold of some original Marin Stickers and loose the none Marin one's and it'll look great. If you like old school bikes check out some of mine.

dirtjumpmonkey said on 10 May 2008
hate it the wheels are nice and tha shock but hate the frame
thehalo replied... on 11 May 2008
cheers man nice rate you gave me, pitty you dont have a ful sus to compare it to and try a real pic off your bikes rather then the catalogue.It kind off defeats the point in having a pic in the first place. you prob dont know that it was the first dh frame marin ever made.

man thats brilliant,i used to have one with shiver DC's on the front,looking back i dont know how it didnt snap.awsome
ashley_photog replied... on 30 January 2009
Tube may look thin on some bikes, but the most important aspect is the thickness of the tube wall. oversizing Aluminium, helps to reduce wieght as you don't need as much material in the wall
thehalo replied... on 11 May 2008
thanks man the frame was given to me so i did what i could with it. still getting use to the bike as nearly finished with the upgrades, what can i say it's a old school bike.

bikerboywill said on 9 May 2008
errr looks kinda high?
but nice components
thehalo replied... on 11 May 2008
the bike is not that high it just looks it on pic maybe, still got a few more upgrades to go yet,cheers for rating.

CoiledPete06 said on 9 May 2008
Is that a 2000 frame? It looks like it could be a brand new bike with all the upgraded components. How does it ride?
thehalo replied... on 11 May 2008
forgot to say it rides really well for a single pivot, and the new shock has changed the ride alot,still getting use to the bike after building it and the first place i road it was the downhill course at cwm carn and it felt nice.
thehalo replied... on 11 May 2008
the frame i think is 2000 , still got a few more upgrades to go yet, cheers for the rating.

thehalo replied... on 11 May 2008
it does look a bit thin sometimes but it is a old school frame and the upgrades have helped the ride,cheers for the rating.
