I've decided that I have too many bikes and one(at least one!) has to go. Its taken me ages to decide which one and my Marin has drawn the short straw.
It rides really nicely and is feels similar to my Zaskar in the way it handles.
I have worked out what its cost me to build and I reckon its around £520 so with that in mind I'll put it on here at £400 ideally collected or I could meet up if you'd prefer. I will look to post but will need to get a price and box sorted for delivery.
Spec is as follows:
Frame: Marin Indian Fire Trail 17.5 inch. stripped and polished. There are a couple of really small dinks in the frame but nothing too bad.
Fork: Manitou Comp with heavy rated Mr Wings Springs
Headset: FSA Ahead
Stem: Fred Salmon (Blue)
Handlebar: Trans X risers (Blue)
Grips: Yeti Dual Compound
Brakes: Shimano XT M737 cantilevers
Brake Pads: XT with holders
Cantilever cable hangers: Blue Alloy
Brake Levers: Shimano XT M737 combo's
Shifters: As above
Front Derailleur: Shimano XT M737
Rear Derailleur: Shimano XT M737
Cassette: Shimano XT M737
Cranks: Shimano XT M737 175mm
Bottom Bracket: Shimano XT
Pedals: Shimano LX
Rims: Mavic 231
Hubs: Shimano XT 730 and 732
Tyres: WTB Velociraptors in Grey (these were nos and have seen 2 rides)
Saddle: Flite TI (was Nos in box which I have) A few rides old
Seatpost: Modern Kalloy
Seatpost Binder: Black Hope
A couple of pictures are here from when I first built it up. I have since removed the boosters, fitted the Flite, velociraptors and the XT group and wheels.
