Gary Fisher Marlin, it's their cheapest hardtail mountain bike, but it makes me happy.
I just got a raise at work !, and I figured it would be a good treat to myself and a good way to try to get back in shape after all the unhealthy hours I spend at work.

2005 Kona Blast. Picked it up yesterday. I especially like the Marz fork. The components are decent for a bike in this price range. I love the color scheme - black all over with a few colorful accents here and there. I tried (rented or borrowed and rode on trails) several bikes before making my selection. To me, this was the best overall package in terms of handling and value.
