    Marin Pine Mountain Browning

    Nice! From memory the suspension adjusters actually work a bit, which is rare?

    From memory they're also USA built? Boy"O"Boy's thread has lots of info. This the one from Harrogate?

    3 frames - Fuquay / C16R / Reflex which to build

    Fuquay first for me simply because it's the most interesting IMO. C16's are great riders but a bit white goods especially as the colours went boring after the Clockwork's.

    FAT Chance Yo Eddy frame , grello

    Not as much as I kick myself for not buying Saltyman's harlequin aqua fade 15 years ago for a fraction of what they go for now!😫

    "Isn't modern bicycle technology absolutely wonderful?"😍

    It can't really be a yes or no though. Many parts of modern tech are wonderful but plenty of others aren't. As long as there are people there will be disagreements. Full suspension was such a divisive topic bitd that they actually designed a whole system to act like a rigid frame most of the...

    I certainly rather ride Dalby on my XC bike over my Trail or HT! My local, Gisburn would be a different matter though.

    "Isn't modern bicycle technology absolutely wonderful?"😍

    In my opinion any ride where you ride down hill off road is enhanced by a dropper. I do a loop from home along the canal where the only time I use mine is when riding down the stairs by one of the locks. Totally worth it! It's hard to explain and plenty won't agree but decent geometry, tyres...
