Too expensive

First off, why do you have at least 40 different dropouts? And Secondly, why is the cost to ship a small lightweight part to my door nearly as much as the part? Rediculous.

Hi, Thanks for your feedback on our multiple hangers - unfortunately not all bikes are able to use the same hanger. Regarding the cost of freight, we are always trying to offer the most cost effective solution, but sometimes we are at the mercy of our freight companies. For future reference your local Marin dealer should have the hanger you need in stock

Received my new bike on Friday

Received my new bike on Friday. When I attempted to assemble it, I found that it is missing the bearing cups in the head tube and has three small chips in the frame. I emailed customer service right away and sent in a customer service form first thing Monday. It’s impossible to find a phone number to call and beyond frustrating at the slow response.

Hi, Sorry to hear about the issues with your bike. We are a small team, and whilst we aim to answer customer service enquiries within 24 hours, sometimes we don't hit that target. It looks like you purchased the bike through the ExpertVoice platform, please contact them to start the warranty process with us, as unfortunately we are only able to work through dealers to process claims. If they are unable to respond to your ewxpected timeline, please feel free to email us on service@marinbikes.com

Immediate service and fast shipping

Received a new bike in the mail with a bent derailleur hanger. I placed the order for a replacement hanger and received it in two days. Nothing worse than downtime, nothing better than super fast customer service! (Love their bikes too, this new bike is my second Marin!)

Great bikes until you have a problem

Great bikes until you have a problem. Non-existent customer service. I have tried sending emails and messaging them on social media. I have received no replies. It has been over three months.

Great bike

Great bike. I use it everyday as a commuter. The gear shifting is a little clunky but I’m hoping after some more break in time that gets better.
