[COLOR= #0000ff]Hey, Y'all.[/COLOR]
[COLOR= #0000ff]Of the bikes I rode at REI, the Marin bikes fit me better than others. They didn't have any that I liked the looks of, but the clerk suggested I try this one from online for $699, and I think it's pretty to boot. Opinions on the components, anyone?? Any components you would change/replace? And THANKS!! [/COLOR]
