Anyone into mountain bikes??

[dave_s13]

New to this malarky so do you reckon this is a good deal??

A lad at work says he'll sell me his 2 year old Marin 'Pine Mountain' bike for £200 its in v good nick apparantly.

Anyone know anything about these bikes??

Hiya mate.

I'd bite his hand off at that price! They were just short of a grand when they came out in 2000.

Very nice bikes, with top quality bits on them.

Dave,

I would defiantly buy the Marin, I used to have one they are really good bikes. Back in the day I used to be well into Mountain Bikes and lark! Me and my old man rode up Snowdon on them!! I got into cars and he got into Racing bikes, he go's out to France and follows the Tour De France Route...Nutter!!!!:D

:confused: What do you need a bike for? :confused:
You still drive your dogs to the bl00dy park :D
:D :D :D

Shut up!!!

Anyway I HAVE to drive em down now, Lewis, the old bugger, has totally screwed up his back end and can hardly walk. I have to drive him down, lift him out the car so he can go for a dump then lift him back in again. Hes off for an operation tomorrow to replace some ligaments or somat.
I was gonna ask if they could just chop his legs off and make a 'robot wars esque' frame for him. I'd be the first with a rear wheel drive/flame throwing dog then and I could get a few bob down the local Kebab shop for a couple of dogs legs :):).......but r lass wasn't to keen.

I'm surprised you haven't though of getting him fitted with a rear axle so you could ride him down to the park.

[dave_s13]

thats not a bad idea.

I think my next dog will be one of them bernese mountain thingies I could ride him down the pub to meet you next time.

Can u get done for being drunk in charge of a dog????

If you took his back legs off, and replaced them with a frame, wouldn't he be Front-Driven, and therefore... Scrabbly? :eek: :D :D
