I got a Marin B-17 about 2 weeks ago, when i ride the bike it allways makes a clicking noise, its coming from the front of the bike ether the suspention, or the handle bars.
If i push down on the frot of the bike then lift it off the floor and give ita small jolt without hitting the bike on the floor u get the small click, now it dont seem like much but when u are rideing the bike after 10 min its starts to get anoying.

Thnx Soke

    sounds like you need to re tighten your headset.

    slacken stem bolts and tighten top cap bolt then re tighten the stem bolts.

    have a read on parktools.

    I once had this problem and it turned out to be the drop outs on the back wheel, i put a little grease around them and it cured the problem [ only afetr taking everything else apart and greasing first though]

    Sounds like my '07 Rocky Ridge.

    I'm yet to find a cure..

    Are you sure it isn't the forks topping out/bottoming out? Wild card admittedly,but worth mentioning.
