Having lived with the bike for a few months, i'm very impressed. I've made a few changes to tailor it to my riding style. These include larger rotors, Sunline 711 bars and XC stem, Thompson seat post. Sunline 'thick' grips, DX (SPD) pedals and 2.4 Moutain kings. I'm 15 stone and these changes have transformed the ride. It decends like a hardtail has no right too! Looking to buy a dual sus soon for when i want to ride more extreme trails. Any suggestions? I've been thinking of 140mm travel as my abilities wont allow Black Routes!!
not seen one of these in the flesh yet, looks a fine ride got some good reviews marin putting some good hardtails together I love mine crackin ride I have given it a few mods check it out. whites always a good colour for bikes I think.
