Teacher?s notes: The Marin Quake has just about everything it takes to be a great-performing dual slalom racer except one important feature: It comes with a triple crankset. You?ll have to spend $100 or more to rectify this error. This is one of the few off-the-shelf dual-slalom machines?and it?s a good choice.
