Blimey that's purple

Love it though. Never had a go on one of these but the sus design seemed to get rave reviews. How does she ride?

Re:

Cheers guys

first replies I've had in here about it! it's not to everyone's tastes with the new bits but it gets used all the time round Edinburgh and yes - she does fly

I still have the original stem (minus sticker), cut bars (pretty narrow) and seat-tube (worn) if anyone wants them for postage costs

The sx carbons have since been put on my city/night out bike! an old school hardrock. As for the custom purple, it was a big favour from Orange bikes

The hardrock

That's gorgeous

The finish is beautiful ( though a bit too purple for my tastes - but that is just me ) Does it get dirty often? I've a 97 Rift zone and I love Marin's full sussers ( my GF just got an '03 one - that's brilliant too ) Have you had it since new?

Re:

Thankyou!mand to be honest no it doesn't... it's a sunny day bike along the bike paths of Edinburgh! I've had it since new in 1999 - along with the mbuk magazines and reviews of it! £2.50 an hour pot washing, a paper round for ages to save the £2500 it was back then!

How times change with prices!
