New Mountain Bike

Getting a new mountain bike over the next few months, know all the new ones will come out fairly soon. But been looking anyway. Anyone got any of these or had a ride on them??

Gonna go test some out nearer the time. Cheers

mmmm Marin.... I remember them when I was 16 (jesus 15 years ago)

Both very nice. You should look at these....

Most bike shops will do a variety of ready builds. I've got a 2003 S-Works and it's fecking light, if i had the cash i'd upgrade to one of these bad boys. Might have to sell one of my kids.

I'd go for the orange, I'm massivley into mountain biking & always lust for Orange bikes. British manufacturer.

Ive always been a big fan of both Orange and Marin. Think im gonna have to go try them out and let the bikes decide for me.

 

Thanks for the input guys.

Yeh mate i would do that too......but my heart would be yearning for the orange

yeah know what you mean, i do like Orange.
