You'll need razor-sharp skills to get the Pine Mountain rolling at serious speeds, but it's got no shortage of simple charm
BikeRadarEven with massive Plus-size tyres to cushion the ride, the inherent damping of the steel Pine Mountain frame was still appreciable
MBRWhat elevates this build is the attention to detail, like the token red components and grizzly bear accents throughout

The Marin Pine Mopuntain rides more like an adventure bike than a trail hardtail designed to get your pulse racing.

You'll need razor-sharp skills to get the Pine Mountain rolling at serious speeds, but it's got no shortage of simple charm. Buy if you want a refreshingly straightforward steed for savouring cross-country excursions rather than bombing trails
Appealing retro simplicity, lively character, excellent as an adventure bike
Geometry and rigid setup mean only the most skilful riders will want to cane it on the pine mountain, quick-release wheels detract from handling accuracy
