Video: Friday Fails #129
The number of OTB's here make a pretty strong case that head tube angles aren't slack enough.
Clear evidence that we need the Grim Donut

$750 USDFor Sale Maverick ML7 with Marzocchi Bomber Fork Size Large $750
Probably one of the best bikes to come out of the mid-2000’s, designed by Paul Turner founder of RockShox and inventor of mountain bike suspension this frame kicks ass and still has a cult following. Paul started Maverick bikes as a hand-made in the USA bike company after he retired from Rockshox. Thanks to its Monolink suspension design it pedals like a hardtail, but crushes the downhill. In the front is another classic the Marzocchi Bomber MCR fork with 130mm of travel. It has a coil spring, lockout, and is one of the most bombproof forks ever made.
This bike rips and with a respectable 69-degree headtube angle can handle just about anything Tahoe has to throw at it. It won’t plow effortlessly through rock gardens or save you if you take off a big jump the wrong way, but it is reliable and really fun. Plus it has a sweet custom engraved head badge.
A fresh oil change on both the rear shock and fork. Maverick Suspension in Colorado can service the rear shock and provide any frame specific hardware you need. The front fork rarely needs servicing, but is simple enough just about any bike shop can take care of it.
This bike is a size large and would best fit someone in the 5’9-6’0 range. It is a great option for someone who wants a capable bike that works well but isn’t ready to shell out $3,000+. This bike has definitely been ridden, but also well-loved. No cracks, dents, or major chain slap, but has the scuffs and cable rub that happens with regular use. The fork stanchions are in great shape. Brakes are bled and drivetrain is dialed. At 26 pounds this bike also climbs very well.
