I have to say we had bike envy...That bike envy was well meant-we purchase two marin mtn bikes on the spur of the moment almost three years ago (first crap bikes were stolen) but they weren''t our fit however we didn't know that at the time...

Fast forward to January 06-Ian & I started discussing purchasing new mtn bikes...He wanted a dually & I wanted something I could improve my skills on and perhaps do some xc races......!
I ended up with a Scott Scale 40 & he got a Scott Genuis MC 40...

He still has his old marin whilst I sold my old one for $200 then purchased a very nice 2004 Giant OCR1...

Bike envy is a good thing every few years...
