The tale of two mech hangers
In just 4 rides I’ve managed to kill two mech hangers, 1 XT rear derailleur, 1 spoke, 1 inner cable, 1 chain
Does this Orange count toward my Five a day?
Dave’s Five is ordered, with sparkle lacquer on a Passion Red base coat.
4” good, over 5” better!!!
It’s all in the travel as far as I’m concerned. My beloved white Inbred is dead, long live the Inbred!
1999 Marin Nail Trail
A deal was struck with a mate of Dave’s and I ended up with this near unused Marin Nail Trail at a bargain price
My word, that’s a long one!
Now I love my Inbred. In a manly sort of way you understand.
2003 On-one Inbred
I bought the bike to get back to the hard tail experience and haven’t really looked back, but it is very different to the East Peak.
1998 Marin Muirwoods
I feel very nostalgic about this bike as it was the first ‘proper’ MTB I owned.
2003 Cove Handjob
A new bike for Thomas after his Orange UFO committed hari kari.
1998 Marin East Peak
Dave’s first full sus machine, a Marin East Peak that was ahead of its time.
2003 Marin Rift Zone
Matt’s first full suspension bike from 2003, the Marin Rift Zone with Quad suspension and 80mm of Manitou fork action.
