So far I've considered a Marin TARA Rock Springs

Nice - like the idea of adjustable travel and they're sorted bikes - solid, no nonsence, well
specified and great value for money

Same as the marin - if you like 4 bar linkage they're the bike to go for - personally I prefer
single pivot (like the marin) which stiffen up the suspension and climb better IMO

Also considering Trek Liquid 10 and Scott GZero FX20

Don't know much about the Trek - The Al scott's are very heavy and overpriced for what they are -
the Carbon ones are lovely but a bit out of your price range - avoid the Al ones IMO.

What's your opinion?

The mind serves properly as a window glass rather than as a reflector, that is, the mind should give

At the end of the day, it's going to come down to which one fits you better. Go and give both of
them a test ride - it doesn't matter which one has the bigger disks, just how comfortable you
feel on each.

Heheheheheh.......when are you getting a full sized SS JH?

When I'm richer. The missus has just been made redundant and we've organised a snowboarding holiday
for a few weeks time, so things are going to be a bit tighter than imagined...

I take it you're springing most up
