Marin frames are ugly.
Not fond of the looks. Honestly, IDK how well Quad-Link performs but I'd rather settle with something else. And yes, I am going strictly on looks as none I know has a Quad-Link bike.

I think it's beautiful. Very original design and it just looks brutal. Call me a sucker for old-school huckbikes.

I think their old version was uglier, this one looks sick though.

its jut way to complicated of a bike... why wouldnt you go with a proven race worthy/winning bike... Like the session 88 or a Demo or Sunday. There all proven on the world cup circuit and you know there refined to be the best they can be! Nobody rides marins......

yeah but everyone rides Kona's and they truly are shit...
Dont comment unless you have ridden the bike.
It doesnt matter what it looks like, or who the hell rides it. What matters is HOW IT RIDES.

It's really not a problem unless you like death grip the bike with your thighs....Even with the pre '10 quakes it's not really a problem

but you couldn't catch a pig between your legs lol. only messin matty.

i don't see how the swingarm moving forwards causes such drama, i've ridden your quake and never noticed it, and i do most my turns with my thigh against the frame

I have rubbed some of the paint off on mine, but never had an issue with it actually affecting my riding at all.
