So i bought this older Trek Marlin 7 a while back for cheap and it seems pretty decent. I'm guessing it's a first-gen as it's 3x and externally routed. The newer ones seem to be 1x and internally routed.
Since I've actually been riding it the question now is... Should i upgrade this bike or upgrade bikes? ๐Ÿค”

Never said it was a liability, I grew up riding quick release, does that mean I still want it though? Absolutely not.
