New Toy - Marin MTB

[FastFabia]

Decided to treat myself last weekend and bought a 2008 Marin Rocky Ridge Mountain Bike.

Also needed something so I could carry it on the Fab so got myself some Thule Aero bars and a ProRide cycle carrier. All seems pretty stable up on the roof, its easy to forget its there and doesnt make much noise. MPG has actually gone up because I have been taking corners extra slow and not accelerating too hard

Here's some pic's, let me know what you think.

Sweet! Need to get some bars for my Ibiza for my Pitch and Hoo Koo E Koo!

I had a rocky ridge way back in 1996. Looked a lot different to that. Frame was 7005 big tube alloy.

Watch out for low bridges, I can fit my giant in the back with the front wheel removed but its not much good after a muddy ride!

Have to agree with that! ^^

I have the same bars and bike carrier set up on mine, and like you say they're really stable and very easy to forget they're up there! There have been a few times I've totally forgotten I have bikes on the roof, and probably shouldn't have been doing the speeds I was doing, or cornering like I was!

I really really need to get my fat *** back out on my old school bike (GT RTS3)

I used to be on it everyday and then i started driving

Looks great! I do a bit of road cycling, never really tried MTB!

Thanks for the comments guys!

I really would recommend the Thule equipment to anyone looking to carry bikes!

I have never tried road biking but I have always fancied it. Always getting passed by roadie's when I come to the big uphills . That S-Works looks like it would be super fast!
