Marin is now owned by a Shimano " holding " company and quite naturally try to keep this under wraps...
I spoke to a main dealer in Hartlepool about a year or so back ..he absolutely raved about this bike ( but then he would )
The colour wouldn't bother me ..I like it !

Its not shouting at you. Don't buy it then, get a hardtail to go along side your full suss. Cheaper and it'll man you up.
