Guys i am considering buying a modern Marin Downhill/free ride bike, am a bit of a marin man so in your opinion whats the best bike they have made in recent years ?
I am a bit out of touch,but want to know what would be the equivalent to my 1998 Marin Team DH below ??

Thanks mate, she climbs not to bad also but you feel it on the legs, but goes down a dream
I dont hurt my old team cause its a bit old and rare so shes got a pampered life ,so i am gonna buy me a late one so i can beat fcuk out of it :LOL:
Would rather buy a complete bike tho instead of messing about with a frame ?
What sort of year would i be looking for ?? cause they seem to have stopped doing the free ride bikes in the 2012 catalogue anyway :?

It's called all mountain these days, or all marketing :p if you're sticking with marin, the attack trail is a great bike.
 
They use the quad link on XC bikes too. For DH / FR stuff I'd get a Quake frame of some sort. Not sure hey sold all that well, so there my not be loads around for sale.
 
i had a 08 mount vision with the rp23 pro pedal thingy. it rode lovely....until i had a go on a 2010 gary fisher something or other i nearly cried it was so much better have a good look around theres plenty to be had. the big hits from spesh are meant to be good as well
