I sold my DH bike over the weekend and am looking to get into something more trail friendly. I’ve been looking at kijiji and Pinkbike but now that I’ve seen everything that’s on there, it’s down to little new option each day. I’m not set on a price range per se, but under a grand would be nice.
I found a 2012 Marin East Peak 5.5 for $750 and it looks like it may fit the bill. It might be a bit big for me at 19”, I’ll have to see how it fits. Just curious if anyone has experience with Marin, or even better with this specific model? I can’t find the weight online, but I’m expecting it’s somewhere in the 30-32 lbs ball park.
I’m also open to options. Trail riding and something that won’t gas me going uphill. The Stinky was just too much bike to trail ride so I never used it. Seems like you can’t get anything new in the $1500 range anymore if you want full suspension.
Thanks
