Not sure if that's good or not. I also see the X-Lite is coming back. They were the bling to have in the 90s until the owners ditched the brand to concentrate on Muc Off.

Well i had some marin bling in the early 90's, thanks mum

X-lite

Stuff unused to dream about as a kid!

Always wanted their xlite fly stem, was mega money like £100+ 10 years ago, bought one of eBay for about £8! Last year, made my day!!

Cool. I have a X-Lite seat post but it's a shim only one and keeps slipping so I'm finally ditching it. Might get a few bob for it on Fleabay now., also had some QR's and a few bling bolts pf theirs. Feel old now!

Where is the Dis-like button!!!! Please don't say Marin's of the future are going to be built with a profit margin calculator rather than a someone who knows what a bike should be like!!!!!!!!!!

I loved my 1997 Marin Hawkhill.....

(Not mine but still love them!!!!!)

Oooh very Nice Matt.......

I still have my 1998 Marin Outpost bike at home....Old School style

My current 2010 Marin Hawk Hill is a nice bike and rides really well....



I've since changed the bars and removed the bar ends...

Just hope they stay making the same bikes and don't lose their way!

Ive only ever had Marin's love em. Would post pics but im a computer div hehe.

I bought the Rocky Ridge a few years back as an interim bike until I got a DH bike. But its bullet proof and I never ended up getting a DH bike. I just suck it up and puff out my chest and let the bike take the hits.

They built strong like bull.
