Get this one off ebay. Many times better and will save you a lot of money not upgrading.

Bikes with the Suntour 'X' series fork are bikepath limited by that fork. Nick at Suntour can get you an upgrade to the Raidon on that Marin for $200. If you find you need it.
There's a thread in this section.
Sell something or save for a while.

OK if we dont look at forks just frame and the other stuff whats the one I know the gt brand from when i was a kid many years ago but i gotta pull the trigger tonight if i want free shipping

It isn't that much more than the GT.
The fork alone on that bike is worth a couple hundred more. Not to mention the other pars.

Oh well, If you can't squeeze the extra $50ish dollars I would get the GT but they are all relatively the same bike.

2nd choice the Motobecane.

350 might be better spent in the used market. I would recommend checking your local craigslist ads to see if something might better suit your budget with a bit better components and a fork.
