I took the Gary Fisher Tassajara for a test ride and loved it, however it is over my budget. The Gary Fisher Marlin looks like it is the same frame but with a few different part, looks like mainly brakes and gears. How big are these differences? Are the bikes going to be the same weight if the frames are the same?
I don't want to spend the extra cash if the Tassajara is for riding I wont do.
I mainly ride in the city and the odd single track trail nothing too major, although I do ride pretty hard.
Here is a side by side bike comparison chart.
