Marin Wolf Ridge 
Posted: 16/01/08
'DISAPPOINTING (2005 MODEL)'
Strengths:
Good spec for the money
Weaknesses:
The usual Marin flexible swingarm. Grab the saddle and the top of the rear wheel and see how much flex there is in this thing. This is ok on the XC bikes, I still have a '05 mount vision, but not on something with 5" of travel. I never felt safe on this bike so sold it and bought a Trek Liquid which has been great.
Overall:
Marin need to get back to building good simple bikes, they really haven't made a massive improvement since their 1997 FRS bikes.

Specialized Stumpjumper Comp 
Posted: 16/01/08
'OK FOR SMOOTH TRAILS OR ROAD'
Strengths:
Looks nice in silver
Weaknesses:
Bottom bracket is far too low which causes the pedals to hit even the smallest
bumps in the trail. Not particularly light. Feels heavy and dead to ride, like a cheap steel bike.
Overall:
Rubbish. I was so looking forward to this bike but it's no fun too ride.
