Is there an idler in there somewhere? I can't make out what's going on around the drivetrain, except that the derailleur looks like its ready to come off and the chain guide seems to be set up oddly.


EDIT - Ahh, just realized its a Katipoo.

Gonna ride this till the summer while I fix up my dh bike for when I take my IH Sunday to whistler. I cant afford to break anymore stuff on the dh bike so ive tried to make it a fairly reliable spec.

Their Pinkbike press realease was funny but I'm really curious how it rides. Give us a review soon.



btw. How did you get it? Marin tries really hard not to sell their full lineup outside of the US.

I sure will. Right now we have over 3ft of snow everywhere in Finland, so any real riding is months away... :( On sunday I'll get to ride on our winter dh-track, but the cold really stops all hydraulics from functioning so it'll be hard to tell how it really rides.

What I can tell is that accessing the shock is a nightmare! I had to flip the rear of the shock so that the rebound adjuster is facing down to be able to adjust it.




Our shop is the finnish distributor for Marin

It's the same here with snow all over the place. Hell, snowboard is fun too.

As for the distributor - it's strange as I can find NO online info on the bike. Our local distro either. I know it's out for 2011 but if it wasn't for the forums I'd have no clue. What's wrong with them? I don't even see that bike on the marin main page.

That Lenz is amazing looking. Would love to give it a try. Really like the new Dorado.

I can say enough about how nice the new Dorado is. Its a great fork.
If you ever see me at Diable or Pkill and I have it you can take it for a run. Just dont Taco my wheels. We all have heard how fragile they are.

The PO1NT pedals(with calf eating pins)would have knocked a bit of wight out of the 17.55kg.
Got Nuke Proof 150mm hub now to build new rear and ditch floater. Only 30 ficken clicks, I thought they had over 100, where did I get that, dang, pissed off, my current I9 has over 120 clicks. Will still save weight ditching the floater though, just won't have the snap POW it has now.

no. shock placement is wrong for a fury. looks like frank the welder's new frame with a dorado to me.

I really fail to understand why everybody cares so much what bike a semi professional guido downhiller from the Jersey Shore will be riding this year.

Fastest guido downhiller? I'll take it! Oh p.s. Harobiker, My headangle is slacker than yours. ;) That's all that matters on RM right? Just joshin you. What's wrong with a teaser pics of my bike? It's not done/ready for public eyes so this is what you get.

Probably my 2011/2/3 ride.
Kinda muddy from yesterday's day of riding. Wait, we don't know what mud actually looks like here in Socal. :)


editor note: HA slackened for RM e-rippas.

damn you got me by a few degrees, your BB height is gonna let you corner like Ben Reid! dialed!
Click to expand...
Even though that might actually be a shade of rootbeer, it definitely looks flexy and surely does not have any shims in that fork. Clearly, it is not dialed.
:rofl:

Although, it may be starting a new trend: the 20-niner. 20 in the front, niner in the rear.
