Another new arrival!?

It's probably a bit late into this season to get hold of a winter bike but I had just enough time today to build up my new 2012 Gary Fisher / Trek Marlin Single Speed.

It's a 29er, SS specific frame with sliding vertical dropouts and a standard, threaded BB shell. Rather cheekily I think, it's got stops for front and rear mechs so I could run it geared alongside my Superfly if we have a damp summer!

This is a complete bike for less than £500. A bargain. The frame alone would sell easily for more than half of that price.. I've got a pile of fairly posh parts that'll get swapped out before the bike even leaves the shop but this is more 'because I can' rather than because the machine really needs it.

...And I waited for a 2012 model because the new year's paint job is just so spot on, don't you think?
