I have a Marin with Manitou front shock, hardtail, good components.  I have close to 1K in the bike, will sell for $200.  LMK if you are interested, and I will post some pics.

PS - do NOT get a full suspension unless it has a rear suspension lockout.  A rear suspension bike with no lockout will absolutely wear you @$$ out because so moch of your pedaling effort will be absorbed by the suspension.  The good rear shocks will have a simple lever that locks the rear suspension for climbing hills.

No, its a Marin "Eldrige Grade"

I am 6' tall, and it was sized for me....I can measure the frame tho.  The front shock is an "Answer Manitou" and its rebuildable, but it doesnt say what length of travel.

The components are (were, its a few years old) very good - Shimano XT or better.  I think its a 21 speed.

Its also got a trip computer, pump, and tool kit.  Its also got both clip style and clipless pedals and a pair of size 12 bike shoes for the clips.
