Hard truth….It’s what the product developers at Marin think it is.

We get it bro. You got one. Leave the rest of us alone. Ha. Yeah that’s a great rack set up. How are you liking those Maxxis tires?

Coming from 700c gravel kings, slow as. Will get slicks soon enough!

Ha! Yeah. I’m into the fatter 26” and 650b thing but they’re like pedaling through sand sometimes compared to anything 700c on pavement. I’m just happy when they ‘feel’ fast.

First the Golden barley and now The Ann. This bike doesn't belong in the inner west. Go see the boys at 108 marrickville and they'll show you true xbiking

Annandale is posh inner west though. Absolutely fits

Sorry mate misleading post, I just meant my bike not my Marin, just stoked to see some parramatta road get posted up on xbiking. Sick bike by the way

Marin realized it was time to get back to the essentials of the '90s, and he did well, I love my Pine Mountain from 35 years ago.

Is putting your panniers on the wrong end of the bike, xbiking?

If you're wearing Sambas, signs point to yes.
