Actually the geometry is utter sheeyte, but its only used to take my dog out.
I used to have an old red and silver marin shoreline trail that was like that when I was 13.
Worst ****ing bike I've ever owned. The first time I had a go on a better bike it was a Santa Cruz Chameleon (bought just before I'd gone out to the alps) on the Plenny Run in Morzine. It's saying something that a stupidly stiff hardtail was more comfortable to ride in braking bump/arm pump land than the Marin was in Coed Y Brenin.
Sorry for not being on for a while, ill upload some pics later 🙂
hurry up, ive been holding my breath for a week
