Looks OK to me mate Give it a couple of weeks and you'll be looking for a nice road bike
Finally got a new bike. I had been riding the same Mongoose XR200 from Walmart for 10 years. It was time. 2015 Trek Marlin 5. I took it out on its maiden voyage the other day on one of my regular local trails along the Great Falls of the Missouri River. The weather was perfect and so was my ride. Since the picture, I have added a Bontrager seat pack to carry, well what else, a multitool. Duh The next 10 years are going to be fun!

So what MT did you put in your seat bag? I carry an orange Juice S2.
Thank you. I like to have my Wingman with me when I am on a ride. Although in the past I have carried my Skeletool or Octane. Looking to get a good bike tool soon, something with a chain breaker, spoke wrench, and the necessary assortment of hex keys. Topeak Mini-20 Pro is my current leading contender.
I have an itching to go from a road bike over to a cyclocross bike. I just can't get a comfortable angle on my road bike. I have adjusted the seat numerous times and no luck. I have had cyclocross bikes in the past and I found them more comfortable due to the geometry. Has anyone here bought a bike and just not click with it?
