Mountainbike Trek Marlin 6

Trek Marlin 6 is a nice beginner MTB bike

Here equipped with front rack / lowrider and a rear rack. A pretty small frame size.

Trek Marlin 6 firebrand with lowrider and a rear rack

Photo and build: W. PenateFr

Trek Marlin 6 with Tongsheng TSDZ2 electric motor with torque sensor.

This is a nice build with a 73 mm bottom bracket. I think this is a 2016 or 2017 model. Color oragne, called firebrand. Cables goes with the top tube which is nice for converting. External cable routing makes it a nice fit.

I believe the brakes are hydralic (Tekro).

Trek FX3 pictures

Trek FX3 Disc / Trek FX 3 2020

I do like Trek bikes for some reason.

What I don't like: The Fork on the FX3 is made out of carbon fiber. I prefer crmo or aluminium vs carbon fiber, that's just me.

Internal cable routing

This I like, very neat installation into chainstay. Don't know which FX3 / year that has this though.

There seams to be a lot of different FX3 models. Here is Equipped.

Check out the fender holder, a little special and maybe not the best option.

Picture from above

This is Trek interal cable routing, however I dont know the model unfortunatly. It might look the same on the FX 3.

Front bike rack, Wald vs DIY

Front bike racks

Some examples of different front bicycle racks.

Buy ready for example: Wald 137 Front basket.

or bigger basket 135

This is model Wald 135 which had bigger basket than 137.

This is model Wald 135 which is bigger basket than 137.

"I just appreciate the original Wald basket mounting system. Everyone seems to clip off the legs, buy a front rack, and zip-tie the basket to a rack and I don’t get why! The mounting legs it comes with works great, are reasonably light-weight, and in my experience, super robust!" - TripleSecretSquirrel

Cykelgear.se is selling them in Sweden

This is a nice mounting

Looks like a stable mounting of this Wald 137 basket.

WALD's largest basket (53x38 cm)

Is it too big? WALD largest basket 53x38 cm

OR

Make your own

This is my Miyata Terrarunner with a DIY front basket, costing about 4 dollars to make. I've made a video testing it. Will be coming out soon..

I've stolen the idea from this dude, youtubechannel garys.projects:

Part from IKEA:

Pleja 26x34x8 99kr (black basket, try to find a silver one, looks better

Observatör 100 cm, eyelets for m5 bolts. 30 kr

This DIY front bike rack for under 25 dollars, IKEA style.

Ikea front basket, build and photo by SebbeK

"Buy a women's bicycle basket at eg Harald Nyborg for SEK 69, take the brackets and replace the basket with a wire basket from Ikea for SEK 40, and it will be like this" - SebbeK

---------------------- -----------------

Other alternatives: AVS system

Here Crescent Hybrid with AVS rack.

More info here.

------------ Lowrider alternative ---------

This is universal lowrider for forks without lowrider bold (in the middle of fork). Seem to fit most bike who has eyelets near wheel axle opening.

Commuter bike Crescent Kebne

Crescent Kebne 16 speed, model 2021

If you dont like front suspension (often heavy and start leaking or whatever) this is a nice commuter bike. Internal routing of cable, looks to come out from bottom bracket, so not as nice as some Trek bikes.

Crescent Kebne is a hybrid bike that is equipped so that you can be comfortable even on really long trips. That makes it a perfect commuter bike. The standard equipment includes mudguards, chain guards, approved locks and a sturdy package holder with the AVS click system, which allows you to easily click on a bag or basket. The handlebars are slightly angled upwards to provide good ergonomics and the handles have comfortable handles. The handlebar stem can be adjusted so that you can easily find a comfortable position. With its 16 gears, Kebne has a gear ratio for each inclination, regardless of whether it goes up or down and the hydraulic disc brakes are dimensioned for the same conditions and heavy load.

Marin Palisades Trail 1993 | Retrobike

Marin Palisades for 550SEK

Entry level bike at the time. Probably year 1993?

Translated to english

"Men's Bike MB Marin Palisades Trail
26 inch 21-speed Lightweight on the Bike
Good condition on the bike shift front
works well but the reverse gear does not work
do not know the fault but the wire does not move
you have to fix it whoever can

Hence the low price"
