Marin b17 suitable for xc riding?
Hi, I am in the market for a small frame and I was looking at the Marin B17 frame. Can I set this thing up for decent XC riding or should I hold out? I don't do any jumping, just trails and some mild downhill. Thanks!

Throw the stick!!!!
If I were you I would hold out for a frame designed with xc in mind. That bike looks like it would be sweet for it's intended purpose, just not for xc. The weight alone would kill you.
