    Niiice, marin make some of the best looking frames i reckon, and that orange is lovely.

    What brake pads do you use in the hopes? I can't seem to settle on a particular brand.
    We'll see things they'll never see...

    I use Hope Sintered pads on the rear and Ashima SOS on the front at the moment.

    tbh that frame could easily be passed off as a current model, shows how far ahead Marin are then. It reminds me of the Whyte something or other.

    lovely looking bike and a great colour. Marin fs bikes have their own look (great) and I hope to get one eventually.

    Reminds me quite a bit of the Whyte 146, which is one of the sexiest bikes in the world IMO. Love the bike, and that orange looks mint as well.

    Both are designed around the same suspension design, hence the similarity ;)
