[QUOTE="Grabber, post: 16593462, member: 70485"] Thanks for the explanation. If you're using it essentially as a stunt bike, I suppose it makes sense. I've abused the absolute shit out of my trek bikes and never had an issue with the frame. Granted, I wasn't a stunt double doing tricks on mountainsides, but I've got air more times than I can count on my old bike, and considering I've been told I'm a larger guy (6'1, 220) the bike has held up. The Marlin hasn't been through remotely anything abusive, but I enjoy racing road bikes with skinny tires and lightweight frames just to see the look on their faces as to why I am still there, LOL. I get that. I've had my right knee fractured twice from wrestling and my left knee is not in the best shape either. Same with my feet/ankles. However, I am still trying to justify spending maybe $1500-$2000 vs. $6,000+ for full suspension bikes. Maybe one day I'll get one, but for now, since my current Marlin is good for what I use it for, I'll ride it until I break it. Hopefully it lasts a long time, ha. [/QUOTE]
