Strengths: Well built. Quite a good spec for the price.Weaknesses: 2008 model. Second frame, first frame broke at bridging piece between seat stays. Now have later 2009 frame. XT Shadow rear deurallier can be a pain to set up. Sweet when it works properly. Easily affected by mud on cables.Bottom Line: Marin customer support is excellent,no problem exchanging frame free of charge under warranty. I would do a thorough check of frame if buying second hand. I've been lucky with the bottom bracket as I heard of premature failure with the Trutativ chainset. XT chainset will be my next purchase.
Favorite Trail: Whatever looks good
Duration Product Used: 2 Years
Price Paid:
$1300.00
Purchased At: Behind Bars Cycles,
Similar Products Used: Various other Kona and Marin models
Bike Setup: Same as original spec. Had no need to replace any parts except worn chainrings, chain, cassette and bottom bracket.

Strengths: Very reliable and easy to handle, turns like a small rat.
Amazing hydroformed frame build.Weaknesses: None so far. Anodized colr is a little bit sensitive with rocks but that's it.Bottom Line: If you can buy this Marin Nail Trail Frame and build it with good components you will get an amazing experience.
Climps like a goat. I have also installed a specialized suspension seat post which made my rides very confy.
