I just ordered a new bike for myself today, its a Marin Rift Zone Quad series bike. I was recently set on geting a K2 razorback but after i test rode this Marin i had to have it! It comes with Hayes hydo discs stock while the K2 has Avid v-brakes. The Marin also has i think a better suspention design over the K2. The Marin felt very solid. Its also fairly light at around 26 pounds.

Just wanted to share with every one on my new purchase! :D
I will give a reveiw after i ride it for a longer period of time. I think this is going to be one sweet bike... I cant wait!:)

Cool looking bike, I've never seen a design like that before, very unique.

I wish you many happy hours of riding, just remember to post back telling us how it rides.
