Hi, i leave in France (Breizh) and i want to know if you could to post bottle cage? and at what price? Thank you.

hello This is my second Marin (the other a Bear Valley 97 on this forum), I bought this Bobcat in 1994. It is unfortunate that Marin bikes are no longer distributed in France.

Hello everyone This is my Bear Valley finished. I am very happy with this bike, the SLX group works well, the Recon SL is effective and light, the frame is very comfortable. It is not like the original but what do you think of this bike?

I'm sorry I do not know the different techniques stickers, I think you should seek information from Gil_m because it was he who made me.

hello, "Gil_m" (part of this forum, you can contact the MP) has made my stickers and I can tell you it is very good.

I did not set clear lacquer because the paint Hammerite have special components and I fear that the varnish makes a bad reaction. In these paintings are more resistant to external aggressions. I am pleased that my theme provides the inspiration for future repainting.

hello all, Here are some news of my Marin. I started to equip it but I miss some elements. I pasted the stickers that Gil_m sent me. this bike has nothing to do with the original but I like it and I think it will look good on the ground. more photos when done.

Hello, I did not use primer because Hammerite can be applied directly on steel. I also think that the work of an amateur, to spray in a spray booth craft is not comparable with the work of a professional. But the resistance of the Hammerite is very good. I used it a few years to repaint a...

I removed the masking today to see the result. I think it makes good. Now, patience, it takes a few days to dry completely before installing equipment.

Thank you for your welcome, This is not the first frame that I repainted but the rest were cheap bikes, while Marin has sentimental value for me. I bought my first Marin in 1994, a bobcat (top end) I abused off-road but it is always clean and has no cracks. These are good frame chromo...

Hi, I give you news about my work. I had to wait for the drying of black paint to perform masking. So I made the layers of white today. I'll see tomorrow if I can remove the mask to see the result.

Hello, The black paint is currently drying. Tomorrow I delimits the black and white with masking tape to make the layers of white.

I started painting the frame after having manufactured a paint booth. As I explained above the rear frame is painted black and the front will be painted white. The seat tube will be painted white in the middle and black at the ends. I think it can make a nice effect if I get to paint...

In fact I explained myself badly, I do not want to repaint the frame origin. I would like to make a personal painting style of Team Marin 1992. Green replaced by black and black replaced by white.
