Hi,

Where can I find the weights for marin bikes ?

Thanks.

    They are unpublished by the manufacturer. Have to rely on readers submissions and bike tests in mags/online.

    The manufacturer will tell you that weight is not that important, and the ride and spec should be focused on, so they don't bother with weights as it 'confuses' things and others cheat when measuring. As they make a big song and dance about the all new frame that is 50g lighter than last year...

    I find it a right pain when companies dont give the bike weights and when they do, like mag tests, they are without pedals 99% of the time

    Marins arent the lightest of bikes but quite well specced and with nice uk bits like Hope hubs and brakes normally. Best bet is to mail the importers who are about 2 miles from me heh
