Yeah that all-black one looks nice. I suppose with this frame you have to try to make it as subtle as possible as not to draw attention to itself, so it just kind of blends into the background

OP: Gopping.
1/10
[edit] sorry, that wasnt very productive. but i think its hideous, brakes look RIDICULOUS, as do the wheels.

Enjoy your new build Pricey.
Is that all the parts off the Marin?
BTW, welcome to the strange world of STW and many of it's over opinionated users.
Most mean well, but they do suffer from a bit of penis envy now and again.

This is my bike well one of the three I own ,got the frame on impulse as i thought it would b nice to own a hard tail too but was realy disappointed with the Qualty and the way it looked ,so I have decided to ride it to work hence the wheels and mudguards , it's all xtr and got Chris king off road wheels to go on as all my bikes, but prob won't see any mud ,a big thank u to knottie who kindly put it togeather for me .as for the brakes they work every time after trying different makes and the discs going blue and the pads catching on fire went for the biggest I could find ! If I was behind u your b glad Ive got them so I can stop and not ram u like I have mates in the past .

i like it. pricey, put some good tyres on it and take it down slaughterhouse combe at warp speed, and just end up chuckling to yourself about all those negative comments in the thread above as they mean jacksh1t.

Looks alright m8, get some hookworms or something around 2.3 slick, will still roll nice but you will atleast be able to hit a couple of drop offs and through it about a bit otherwise i would have went for a wippet instead of going H/core hardtail if it's just used for commuting.

Are you a Bus Mr Price?
i dont mean to be negative. Tis my opinion that asthetically the frame is poor. Im sure it rides as well if not a million times better than my steel 456, and is loads lighter.
and you cant see it when your on it.Enjoy
