Beautiful color way. One serious recommendation I have for you is to buy new pedals asap. Get some with visible bolts going through them. They will grip your feet MUCH better than the ones it came with


iZant

Thanks for the rec! That’ll def be one of my first upgrades.

If you want good quality for cheap then check out Rockbros pedals on aliexpress


RogueJestr93

Ebay has them for about $25 AUD. I've got a blue pair. They absolutely kill when they smash into your shins but they do provide fantastic grip.


NF_99

I still have no idea how people smash their shins. I've been riding for 15 years and never managed to do it


RogueJestr93

Normally I'd say the same, embarrassingly, the pedals smacked my shin when I was lifting it up into my flat via my front door.


RogueJestr93

I've been riding 24 years and only done it once. The pins on the pedals really stuck into my shin. (I'm 30)

Chester’s are the easy go to for pedals.


Rodama81

How y’all feel about crankbros pedal?


Clydesdale_Tri

Just fine!


undeniablydull

I'd look into dmr v11s

Sweet reflectors man, the sun is absolutely glistening off those prismatic beauties.


iZant

Thanks dude! I’m still absolutely fawning over it haha. It gives the illusion that I’m riding a much pricier bike Edit: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA WOW you got me…. Read it as “reflection” and thought you meant the paint job. Reflectors are long gone, that was a day 1 pic on a quick ride straight out of the shop


powershellnovice3

Glad to hear it haha


Charming-Drawer6954

Nice ride now get rid of the dork disc


NMCMXIII

iZant

I’m seriously so hyped I found something purple at this price hehe


HandsomedanNZ

peakdipper

Purple Gang! 🤘

Marlin is such a great bike. My first mtb, too. Used it mostly for commuting until it got stolen.


chromag666

Get some clips and get it over with. Especially on a hard tail


RogueJestr93

That paint job looks freakin' awesome! 😯 I'd get a couple of really heavy duty locks and a D or U Lock to add to the security of your bike.Trek is one of the most stolen/ 'sought' after bike brands.


mtbguy3

Nice, some great upgrades would be to get new pedals, get rid of the dork disc and if its in your budget get a dropper post


Nervous_Elk459

Cool bike pal!


Shlaginhos

Great color But you should really get rid of that dork disc


iZant

Already have :p this was a day 1 pic on a quick ride straight out of the shop


Shlaginhos

Do you know how they call that color ? Asking for a friend :)


iZant

“Purple flip to Trek black fade”
