As you can see, I don't post a lot but spend a lot of time looking at the excellent content and advice on the site. Huge thanks to all those running and moderating the site and providing retro happiness to many thousands more.

Two LBS experiences earlier in the year went to my lbs to buy my (very excited) daughters first bike, and a couple of helmets. No one else in the shop and three members of staff, explained what I needed (total cost about £200ish). Given a vague wave and a grunt towards the back of the shop...

Pretty sure thats the 1989 model. I have one I am slowly (very) rebuilding.

Hi. Does any one know if Marin switched from 1'' forks to 1 1/8'' in 1990?. From looking at the catalogues on here, in 1991 most bikes (apart from the bolinas) had switched but am not sure about 1990. thanks

What a beautiful marin, i am very jealous. Love those early paint jobs

This maybe a little simplistic (apologies if so) Back in early-mid 90's most of my friends loved kona's (marins other mass produced comparison, please don't shoot me for saying this!) but when I got on them due to my body geometry (curse you Darwin!) they just felt too stretched out, to the...

Hi have just got my daughter into biking and wondered what peoples opinions were of the best childs retrobike (thought I might kill two birds with one stone if you know what I mean!) I am aware of the marin,trek and specialized offerings but wondered if anyone had produced anything abit more...

lovely looking build, thank you for the pics. Think I might go for P2's on my latest marin build after seeing how well this looks. I have a 96 team since new and I always thought it shared the same frame as the pine mountain but mine is fuji rather than tange. Is my memory playing tricks as...

Very rare pace forks, can't remember these coming up often, especially in this condition? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PACE-RC35-XCS ... 20c17d72e5

Getting harder to find NOS on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Onza-Porcupin ... 20c17c4c42

My brother is selling the frame. lovely condition. Am shorter than him so fits me just right and rides really nice (had a go round thetford last weekend). Have a 96 steel marin team and this felt alot more compliant. just shame my budget is a bit tight at the mo otherwise would have nabbed...

Hi signed up a while a go and have been looking on the site for sometime before this so thought I'd better post an introduction. Have just got back into biking after too many years away and currently doing a retro build of my 89 pine mountain. Hope to do the thetford retro ride this year...
