myothercarsa2cv Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Hi, is this the 2002 model? Does it have the TARA system? ETA, just checked, it's not the TARA one... I'd really like to replace my old Rock Springs, such a great bike 😶🌫️ Edited by - myothercarsa2cv on 1 Feb 2012 09:04:42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wells Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 Hi Its the 2001 model with totally adjustable shocks. Its a really good bike, so good (and comfortable) off road and at £325 its cheaper than a cheap thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myothercarsa2cv Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 It is sorely tempting, they are a lovely ride, none of these fancy linkages! Really after a TARA though Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wells Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 Hi Ade Thanks for your email and interest in the Marin, hopefully the photos will give you a good idea just how good the bike is. As I say you cant get much from Half**ds for £325 let alone a quality full suspension mountain bike which was nearly £1300 new.

Jon that makes you second shout at 16:49, Rod Arnold just pipped you at 16:42 and James is third shout at 20:10. Hopefully you all have photos and my home and mobile number. Its down to you Rod.

Medium 17.5 inch frame will fit upto 6ft. Im very happy to send photos and can box to send Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat the Plumber Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 perhaps people need to realise this full suspension Marin weighs 23lb. for those that know bikes this is a very light soft tail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat the Plumber Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I would like to apologise for expressing an opinion in the Marin, as it appears to offend people, as it's not in Chit Chat, and i don't want to purchase the bike, as i already have a Mount Vision. Sorry Chris, if my idol chitchat has hindered the sale. 😔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wells Posted February 5, 2012 Author Share Posted February 5, 2012 Hi Pat, you've not offended me in the slightest. Indeed many thanks for reminding me of its original value *smile*I certainly wouldnt have spotted your helpfull reply on chit chat. Hang on - I've just looked at Chit Chat - where the topic seems to be regarding the sale of a well known VX powered seven. I think your kind help to correctly describe my Marin has slipped under the radar! Anyway apologies from me as well Edited by - Chris Wells on 5 Feb 2012 15:03:31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat the Plumber Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 just for curiosity, what pedals are on the bike, SPD's ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wells Posted February 5, 2012 Author Share Posted February 5, 2012 Ssssh...whisper (Its got some VP SPDs, but I didnt include them in the description as they are quite pricey on their own) Edited by - Chris Wells on 5 Feb 2012 15:12:18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
