If you comment, would you mind adding some info about yourself physically? Height and body type? Is your fitness level excellent, average, or just beginning?
I am thinking of buying the bike in the picture for about 400. I don't know what year it's from. I'm a little concerned about nicks in the paint. Was it in an accident?
Why I am asking about body types. I've had a trek 820 with 26 inch wheels. I am 5 foot two with short arms. Upgraded a Trek Roscoe with 27.5 wheels. It did fit, but I felt uneasy being so high off the ground. The seller told me she'd quit mountain biking after having a scary fall with that bike too. So I'm not sure if I'll find the same with the Marlin.
