A) you get used to it

B) its about how it rides, not how it looks. Form follows function, and quad link functions superbly.

Yes, but this thread is about 'sexyness,' if you don't fall in love with the design instantly then I wouldn't post it.
IMO, in that category, the Marin comes pretty close to the back of pack.

I think some of the quad link designs look a little awkward. The Whyte 146x however looks amazing to me. The carbon and frame lines look very sleek, love the quad links themselves with the logo etched in. And the build is amazing for a stock kit.

DAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMM these bikes are all mint. I miss my AM. I had a 2010 Norco LT 6.1 and it ride well yet my fat ass is too big for air ride. I blew up the shock on my first ride and then the fork 30 hours later. Oh well. These 3 bikes blow my mind. The Norco was mine, the Santa Cruz is Flashes and the Banshee belongs too Chris.
