I quite like that color. Too bad they don't offer it on any of the men's bikes. They do offer a green for the regular Marlin, but it's not the same and it doesn't look as good imo.

Green isn't usually my favorite color but I liked this green and I really liked the white.

Nothing fancy, but here's my other rig - I posted my DBR X2 a while back...

My DB Response SE had a cracked headtube, so I rebuilt as cheap as possible. 18" frame from bikeisland.com and a mix of old parts off the Response and some originally from my X2. CC S2 headset, LX drivetrain up front, XT in back. LX shifters, Bontrager Crowbar bar, Oury grips(OMFG awesome) Truvativ XR post, Mavic 238s with XTR up front and not sure what in back - it rolls nice. Right now has my old Marzocchi Z3 100mm on it for winter salty roads. Will get my older Manitou SX back on it in the spring. Still need a new shorter stem with less rise, but this works for now.

Basic bike, but it works nice. Just finished building her up this last friday. First time doing everything, including cabling...good experience. Looking forward to spring, and getting back to hardtail XC riding. Been on that X2 for too long - I'm kinda sick of that heavy pig

Outside the paddock, such as it is...

Iron Horse MkIII - only mod is the rear fender. My commuter is a mtb as well, a Trek 4300 with alot of mods. Have to get a pic of that one someday.

Yeah, that is the other, other, other bike. 2001 748, mostly stock. Don't have any really good photos - never seem to have a camera with me when I go out. It's just like this one though...

except I have some white custom stripes coming out of the ramair ducts and going up the front fairing stays.



I put in a power commander to help smooth out the idle, polished the pipes and cans (stock), and currently have it set up with a biposto rear for the 'old lady'. Maybe tomorrow I'll take some photos of the bike and the bike.

Haven't posted my mountain bike on this site.

2005 Enduro S-Works.
Hadley hubs laced to Deemax Rims, Marzocchi 66RC fork, DHX air 5.0. It rides DH smooth!

I'd bet it could. Doesn't look like much of a climber with that fork and those wheels, though.

I installed my fork today and was all ready to finally post a picture of my bike then I proceeded to annihilate my saddle. Damn.

Nice bike don.

It is not the best climber but its ok and it is like butter through the rock gardens, worth the trade off I think. I want to change the DHX air for a coil shock next year and increase the travel to 6.7" at the same time.

It is really sweet. End of the season now though, so it is going to go to bed for the winter.

When trail riding on a long travel bike just spin it to the top. It's totally worth the trade.
Thats a great looking bike. I see you got the TLD edition.

The mountains have closed the runs for the ski season.

And yeah, there are a lot of TLD stickers on it, but they look good on it!!

If you look carefully below, you can see the sticker of the website of the dude who built the bike for me!

That just means it is time for hike-a-bikes and shuttling.

Heck yes. That is awesome. My kid is drooling over that one, he thinks it would look nice on his black/white Stinky.
