1990 Marin Team Marin

[AGT]

This bike / frame has been advertised on here at least twice and I bought it last week via eBay. I intend to rebuild it with XT parts from a donor bike.

This was the eBay advert.




Arrived:







Very pleased that it was supplied with an incredibly rare 30.3 mm seat-post.

The frame, forks, stem, etc., will be repainted very soon.

A new repaint of a zolatone frame? - very interested to see what happens next, was might tempted!

Lovely bike, wish I’d kept mine, looking forward to watching the build

Yes and although impossible to replicate, it needs doing. For a preview, see my 1990 Pine Mountain in the ‘Show us your Marin’ thread -

I'm sure you'll do an ace job as always mate.

It’s in the paint shop. Colour change pending. Should be back soon.

I found an original 1990 Marin brochure on eBay. It cost me a bit more than the £1.25 cover price.

I was just bidding on that at the close - but the missus distracted me! Enjoy , and thanks for sharing the pics
