I'm looking at a Trek at Bike Inn
any experience with that brand? Mostly for Chaguaramas trails

I think the model is the Trek Marlin 5 mountain bike

Was actually looking at bringing one of these down, could ask what Bike Inn charging for it?

During Christmas the cable disc brakes and non adjustable front strut model was $3000 and the hydraulic disc brake and adjustable front strut model was $3600.

That's a really good price, better to buy it here then. Hopefully is still the same.

No jest...got that for Xmas, my son was born 1 week later and just been busy with him ever since. By the time I'm home on evenings I get a few hours with him before he falls asleep, so essentially there's only weekends and that's where it all falls apart.

Bike Inn

I'm not 100% sure it's the Marlin 5 but it looks very similar. Trek Matte black.

cool, at least take out in your neighborhood for a little half an hour though... two-wheeled vehicles are one of the finer pleasures of this life

Trek is a good brand. A lot of people start on a Trek. My first was a Trek. It's a heavy ass bike though but tough

ismithx · Postby **ismithx** » January 18th, 2017, 10:05 pm

or you can check Geronimo's. I bought a secondhand trek there, never rode it offroad but it handles real nice, never had to tune the gear shifters since I got it.

Bai gain, I'm sorry but I missed this post. ...thanks for the help...I ended up heading to Geronimos and getting a trek 820 with a 13 inch frame.

Slightly too big...mount/dismount is hard for now...but the upside is that he is learning that falling isn't the end of the world...

Thx again.

Ok correction. It's not a Trek Marlin 5 but a Fuji Nevada One.7

Hydraulic disc brakes and adjustable front struts for $3800.

De Dragon · Postby **De Dragon** » January 21st, 2017, 10:13 am

^^Not bad, I'm seeing Oval parts which is a good sign. What brand are the shifters, crank and gears etc.? I have a Nevada 3.0 and it works really well once tuned. Made 36.5 miles on it once. Seat hard like banga though. You gotta develop that numb arse to rode it :lol:

Postby **Duane 3NE 2NR** » January 21st, 2017, 8:26 pm

^ the shifter is Shimano from the pics I took. I assume the derailleur and gears are Shimano too.

This one is a size 19. I'll need a 17 which they also have.
Is this a good buy?

Any advise on road bikes, any one have a used one to sell?

pugboy · Postby **pugboy** » January 22nd, 2017, 5:01 am

105 Ajim Ali Street Munroe Road
Cunupia

I'm also seeing FSA components so it looks to be a good beginner bike. I don't use mine for trails (yet), still trying to build that stamina and get a road bike, so I can't speak for trail riding, but for road riding Fuji's are good.
