well i can only say one thing, its sweet and there is only 1 thing im not too keen on, the forks, id place 888 or RC40s on then i would be 10 but the bike kicks ass i wish i had one lol
you may wanna lower saddle to lol
rate my Marin please
diamondratuk replied... on 17 June 2009
You do know this is a mini DH?.... Put an 8" fork on it, it has a a 6" back end. Maybe I should get some ape hanger bars and drop a Harley 'V' twin in it, then turn it into a chopper?..... :) As for the saddle it drops 3" as is and if I want to really arse about I have another post and saddle to swap in to it in about 5 sec, when I need a low n slammed set-up. And the the Fox Van 36 RC2 is about as good as it gets when it comes to single crown forks. Shame the shock cant keep up, but that's about to be replaced by a Cane Creek Double Barrel.
