  • My order partner got impatient and ordered an OTP bike, unsure if I should continue now.

    My only real problem with the Kona is its tiny main triangle, with a Marino I could carry 3 bottles on long rides and have considerably more frame bag space when bikepacking. But I'm not sure if that's worth spending a grand. Would also get me a 12 speed groupset, lighter wheels, a dropper, more suspension travel, and modern standards all round. But I don't really need any of those things, or do I?

  • Yeah but that person is pretty swamped with my other build and approx 600km away. And it’s not really something that’s fixed with a couple of braze-ons. And I just want a new mountain bike, so could you please tell me a Marino is the way to go?
