FS: Marin 2017 Nail Trail 7 - 29er Hardtail

2017 Marin Nail Trail 7 - 29er (L - 19in) Used, but in excellent condition. Less than 150 miles done on it.
Reluctant sale, as it's a lot of fun to ride, but need space in the shed for a family bike....and I just haven't got out on it enough in the last year to warrant keeping it.

Spec here: https://www.marinbikes.com/gb/bike-archive/bikes/2017-nail-trail-7
Except tyres, which I changed to: Maxxis Ardent MTB Tyre / Maxxis High Roller II MTB Tyre. Barely used. - Now has a pair of Schwalbe G-Ones on it, but will obvs chuck Maxxis tyres in too.

Price drop, £875.

This is a really useful bike for someone. Checks the bike packing and all rounder hardtail boxes really nicely.

WOW, in my area too. What a dream!

Yeah, lovely to ride. Just not riding it enough to warrant it, sadly.

Price drop, £850. Come on folks, Swinley is calling....

Price drop. £825

And downward, into the depths she goes...
£795 (with sizeable forum donation). Will also throw in a Kit Kat chunky, 2 cans of Tennents Super and a signed picture of Sue Barker smoking a pipe.

If it’s any consolation I would have had this if I could fit it in my flat. Which I cannot.

Yeah, it's a biggun. Had to get a new shed when it arrived.

Price drop £725

This (along with the Cube from the other month) isan utter bargain, but probably in the wrong place.

Yeah, should probably cast the net wider...but if it doesn't sell, I get to keep it, so...

I really want it but it won't go in my flat. Would need to get of the F-Si first and that's not going to happen in the next 12 months.

Flip the bars 90degrees and it's pretty flat....but still lengthy.

Won't fit along with all the other bikes, and there's too much overlap with my existing hardtail which still has another year in it, I reckon.

Would be nice to have something a bit more robust that would probably take a child seat though :)

Well, looks like it's not going anywhere fast, so give me a shout if you change your mind...

I've been lurking here from the start, watching the cobwebs gather.
Nobody has even asked about height/suitability.
So, how tall does my younger son have to get for this to start making sense? (now 5'10" and skinny 15yr, likely heading towards 6'1-2").

I'm 5'10" and it fits nicely, doesn't feel cramped. Probably go up to 6ft or thereabouts without any issue. If you're nearby, you're welcome to pop round and take a look.

We are up in the opposite suburbia, but Thameslink often works. Christmas tasks might delay a visit to do some tyre kicking, but we'd like to have a look. At the very least, it might shake out some other buyers. I'll get back to you later via pm about possible dates. Thanks.
