Mmmmmmmmmm. Marin quake. Dammit, every time i pop into the marin shop for something daft like brake pads or something, I always end up gawping at the Quake, and trying to rationalise the finance figures to myself for about an hour!
the orange 222 i got given to ride till i get my V10, getting built up this week with bits and bats 888's, fox van rc, halo combat front wheel, mavic 321 (i think) rear
Needs:
cassette, new mech, brakes (can borrow) bars, stem, shifter, grips, cables, tyres, tubes, seatpost and saddle
i'm just confused. i see 3? 4? dirt jump style bikes? a lot of those bikes overlap?
if you had a road bike and a commuter instead i could understand it a bit more.

so are there 3 trail hardtails? surely some of the bikes overlap in use though?
i could see the point in loads of bikes if you had say
race xc bikes (hardtail + full sus)
trail bikes (hardtail + full sus)
freeride
downhill
but don't yours overlap?
overlap or not, how do you find time to ride NINE bikes?!
i mean, i have one, and i think i could just about find a use for 3 or 4
Well it depends on what you ride.
i could have maybe:
-commute
-bmx
-downhill
-freeride
-5" trail bike
-race style xc
-jump bike
as i ride all those different things regularly.
I have 3 bikes
- singlespeed commuting bike for all road stuff,
- bmx for park, street and dirt jumps
- a marin quake which covers all mountain bike duties from XC (cwmcarn, glentress etc) to freeride hucks.
the pics are great and i under stand the mean for loads of bike i only have one but if you have the money and the reason to have several bikes ten why not

sorry for the balls up
why don't you submit the pics?
Are those calipers the 2004 xt 4 pot hydro. If so do you find them horribly spongy?

They are XT but theyre not 2004. They are quite powerful when theyve been set up right. If they were a bit spongey dont they need to be bled?

i'm sure there is a formula for working out the correct number of bikes a man should own, and it basicly means you should have 1 more than you have.
more bikes for everyone.
ps, giz a bike, nick
pps. whats the deal with rb, ive never heard of em.
