Marin Hawk Hill Question

[Simon]

Having spent ages hunting round the net for a deal on a Hawk
Hill I have come up with nothing.

Does anyone know of anywhere this bike (2004 model) is
available for less than £465.

TIA

Thanks for that. Having looked at their page the Bobcat also
looks to be an option, but are the parts on the Hawk Hill
significantly better than the Bobcat or does the Bobcat
scrimp to allow the disc brakes?

Thanks

I spent ages looking for a bike back in Autumn 2001. I tried several different models and the one I found to be the best was a Marin Muirwoods.

The reason I picked it out was because it was the most comfortable of all the bikes I tried. I guess the frame geometry suited by body shape.

Anyway, several thousand miles later, and several different countries, I'm still riding it and am very happy with it.

On the other hand, I heard a story about someone who had a Marin bike and the frame broke on him; when he asked if he could return it, he was refused.

No probs. I saved £200 on a bike with a RRP of £700... I'll
be buying my next bike from them.

Regs

I have a Marin Fairfax and before that had a Marin for about 10 years and hardly ever had any problems great well made bikes and very reliable in my experience

The forks on the Hawk Hill are significantly better. MZ Cmps
are very good imo. Alivio is slightly better than acera but
not greatly so. again
imo. Personally I would go for the Hawk Hill, as I am not a
big fan of cable disks, the better components and forks
would sway me.
