Yeah, that’d be awesome! Though the Team Marin is pretty close! Here are the two compared side by side on our website: 99spokes.com/compare?bikes=marin-bobcat-trail-5-2025;*z.lg-29-29,marin-team-marin-1-2025
4130 All-Road frameset would be freaking cool for building up a tour bike of dreams! $450 is pretty budget and raw phosphate looks rad. Not too fond of state bicycles groupset though, pretty sure they are rebadged Chinese OEM ones and could be had cheaper from AliExpress.
They muffed it with the CUES drop bar unless they allow 2x11 with 11-43 or 45 cassette they have again like GRX not given bike packers and tourers the lower gearing they require. And why a 46-32 crank set instead of 46-30? I'm going to run the SWORD 2X crankset in 46/29 it has the same chainline and close Qfactor.
The team Marin sure is beautiful. Would like a more trail geo though. Sonething like a Bobcat trail but with through axls.

I love a top spec XCO or XCC hardtail

"Wishbone" hardtail frames🤙🤙
Yaaass 🥰
@99spokes I have two Trek 4300 bikes. I like how Trek manufactured and welded their "Wishbone" frames🤘🤘

Yeah, fair enough! I guess they have to have a reason for you to pay more for GRX/105
I like the Marin Team Marin. Maybe you can do a future review?
That would be awesome! We’ll see what we can do!
Every MTBer should have a hardtail in the stable.
Agree, but is it out of the norm if i got 3 more hardtails? 😂
Yes, but in a good way 👌
Absolutely, of my 4 bikes 2 are hardtails and a rigid. What I really appreciate with HT and rigid, is just getting on and go.
Yes, I'm accepting donations now.
What bike is it ? 😮
I’d rather have XC bike than gravel… i feel i can do more with XC mtb…
Especially these days, XC bikes are so dang capable!
@@99spokes how can i agree more.
Hi, your pronouncement of "Vysoko" is not that bad 😉
Haha thank you!!
@@99spokes Maybe spell it somewhere in the description next time? Google didn't return anything interesting.
Ahh, good call. Here’s a link to the bike: www.zoceli.cz/en/vysoko
@99spokes name of the company "zoceli" is in English "madefromsteel" and "vysoko" is "high"
Oh that’s cool!! Thanks for sharing!
