Seems a safe time of night to expose my love for all things Marin…. well QUAD 2 Marin particularly anyway. Wiki also says that 1 in 10 men actually like Marin’s but just keep the fact hidden for sake of prejudice. I think the article I read was about Marin’s anyway??
If you have a mild disposition regarding gratuitous pictures of QUAD suspension, mudguards, bodged Chinese light setups, el-cheapo dropper posts or general mincing please look away now. 😉
First, my baby.
Had her since January. Couldn’t ride till late Summer due to health so spent the time doing a nut and bolt rebuild and budget biased upgrade. New (to me) forks, shock, wheels, bar, saddle, DB5’s, gripshifters. With a smattering of 1x 11 GX rear mech and Absolute Black N/W chainring. Love the 1x 11 setup and oval ring.
The redundant gripshifter now just controls the cheap (but oh so reliable) Satori dropper post.

The view with both lights on at Medium. Quite impressed.

Anyway, now the nights are going to start REAL early it looks like my Marin and I will be out even more in the darkness testing the cheap lights…. and my nerves on the spooky solo rides I quite like.
“Whats that noise behind me??…”
Happy riding all. Whatever bike you ride.
