The 'a' Luke.

The look seems to work better when it's scaled up to downhill size. The suspension design could well work better too. A bit of colour wouldn't go amiss. I quite liked early 90s 'fluo'.

ermm, ref the Quake, you would'nt want to get anything caught between that swingarm and the top tube would you, OUCH!!! That slicing motion makes me wince some what!
also seems rather top heavy when everyone else is trying to get the centre of gravity low as...

yeah, but how can one thread say they look good, and another say it looks shocking?

gotcha, maybe they have a festish for carbon

how can one compare the Quake to the E5?

the rear of the quake IS ugly, whereas the E5 is a work of art, imo.

i cant see what the problem is, if it had rocky mountain or santa cruz on the down tube people would be saying `ohh such an innovation isnt it wonderfull` i like marins,i always have, always will, one day i might buy another one,or maybe a whyte, unless of course k2 start making good bikes again.
