Awesome Fullsus bike!
nice specs too! The colors just go really well, what are those seats called btw? is that one of those seats that you could easily change the seat height by just pushing a switch?
please rate my ride if you have the time! thanks in advance!
TagumTrailRider replied... on 26 January 2011
oh,, I wish I could afford a frame like that, If I had One, I wouldn't even think of selling it!
btw, thanks for the advice on how to bunnyhop, when I get good and get famous, I'll definitely acknowledge you! lol (if ever that happens)
antop34 replied... on 26 January 2011
It was awesome, selling the frame now as i have a Santa Cruz. The seat post is a Joplin 4 and it drops and raises the seat height by 4 inches, really helps on trails.

Too heavy to be my perfect XC cuppa but for some short intense runs it looks graet. Wish I had your brakes.
antop34 replied... on 1 October 2010
Yeh its a beast uphills, but the U-turn is a god send on uphills. The brakes look good but thats about it now, bit old!

Eyeworx said on 26 August 2010
Nice bike, should be a little heavy to my taste but it is nice !
i'd like to testa joplin once, but u's still too heavy for the bikes I like ! I like Marin - less famous than Spe, Cannon and Trek but still good value bikes !
antop34 replied... on 1 October 2010
It is heavy to be honest. I am in the process of buying a ASR 5 to calm my XC cravings but keeping this and make it more DH. Thanks for rating

konastinky888 said on 30 August 2008
good looking bikes these. i was lookin at getting an attack trail but went for a quake as it was the same price. i went for the quake because it can take more abuse (hopefully!) and still goes uphill, although one of the quad 140 range would obviously be a bit easier on the ups. you got the best colour for the 140 range too, the blue and orange are not as nice as the white. although i do like the orange one, i still think the whites the best.

nimaldes said on 29 July 2008
i love marins. i looked at this and the wolf but i was swung to the wolf because it has pro pedal on the rear shock which i find helps on hills. How does it take the jumps?????????????????
nimaldes replied... on 18 August 2008
awesome. i took mine to bedgebury freeride area wher it was just amazing
antop34 replied... on 29 July 2008
cheers for the rating. So far its not bad at all, im getting used to jumping a full susser after having a hard tail for years. But it eats big drops and smooths out all my dodgy landings! Love it!
