Any comments/competition for Marin's urban bikes? Mtb/<1.75 " tires

Interested in any comments any one has about Marin's urban bikes or
any bikes (competition) they may have? The only other bike I've seen
like these is the Kona Smoke.

A mountain bike with some sort of pavement friendly tire can do anything
an urban bike or hybrid can, only better.

Except that most MTBs sold these days have front shocks. Others may
think front shocks are great on the road, but I find them silly.

Bikes like the Kona Dr. Dew, etc. Specialized Sirrus. Cannondale Bad
Boy, Road Warrior. Jamis Street Series. Seems like many companies have
similar ideas floating around.

I have a Marin Muirwoods. Nice frame, nice ride. If it fits what you
want, no reason not to buy it. At the same time, if I had found a 1990
Stumpjumper frame and fork, I could have built up a similar rig
myself.
