I believe this is the most comfortable iteration of the Marin so far. Downtube shifter works like a charm. I had to change the derailleur, as the SLX (RD-M662) doesn't have a barrel adjuster, so now it rocks the minty fresh XT RD-M737 that I took off the Minerva.
These Deda Gravel100 bars are actually really good - not that I would ever, literally ever, under any possible circumstance pay 100 bucks for handlebars. But they are comfy, light, have a good grip and look pretty good. Nothing radical in terms of shape just a bit of flare with a nice compact design.
