Yes the frame size is spot on thanks! I am impressed with this bike, the frame is super and has a well considered mix of components, Marin clearly put much thought and engineering effort into shaving weight and optimizing performance. It really shows out on the trail where the Pine Mountain is very light and agile for a steel hardtail, easy to whip around, accelerates smartly and sharp handling. I'd say it's a notch above my Cinder Cone due to the frame, perhaps more like the quality of a Kilauea. The Marin's handling/geometry feels slightly different to the Kona, though both have a reassuring similarity being of the same era. The budget is now up to GBP200 with the wheel repairs. Well worth it. This weekend i will find out how strong this bike is :twisted:
