Derek Yates
Soul Rider
SOLD - Please Delete Marin Mt Vision XM8 2013 - Frame Size - 17.5" (Medium), 26" wheels.
It is the ultimate all rounder and can climb, descend and enjoy pretty much any trail. The build is mid weight so you can enjoy a few jumps and some rougher terrain without worrying. This uncommon bike was ridden for 18 months and it happliy raced both XC and Enduro. This would suit a 168-178cm tall rider. Includes original manuals for major components, Formula bleed kit (no DOT fluid) and spare derailleur hanger.
This would make an excellent choice for someone wanting a high end bike at an entry level price. The geometry suits an all round rider who enjoys singletrack of any flavour. If you've always wanted a nice dually but $4K is too much, this bike is a fantastic step up from a starter hardtail and will open up a new world of trails and line choices. If you have a mate, kid, partner or work friend who needs something better than what they have now this is a fantastic deal.
