That's such a funny picture because the fork and stem are from that Marin the guy brought in and insisted we break up and mix with a -? What was the bike he already had with suspension? Anyway- for those who weren't there- a guy brings in this beautiful Marin. We were all oohing and aahing over it. He says he's always wanted a Marin and now he's got one. Much congratulating ensued. Then he says it's too hard to ride because it doesn't have suspension and his other bike does and he really needs suspension because he's gonna use it for commuting. I pleaded with him. Everybody pleaded with him. "But you always wanted a Marin and now you've got one and if we take it apart, it won't be worth as much money and it won't be a Marin anymore." But he was adamant.
