I've narrowed down the options somewhat, to full-suss and hydraulic discs. The favourites a the
moment are the Marin Alpine Trail and the GT i-Drive 2.0.
Both look nice and I intend to try them out for myself over the next couple of weeks. Meanwhile, has
anyone any particular comments on these machines? For a few quid more, the Marin East Peak is also a
possibility. The main difference is the frame design. The Alpine Trail frame is simpler, adjustable
and cheaper. Can anyone say from experience why the East Peak's more complex frame is better?
I've looked at some of the American groups for info but they seem to be mired in flame wars and
junk. The American version of the Alpine Trail appears to be a somewhat different bike, too.
Thanks, Vince.
