Well, there’s always the 24” wheel Zaskar to move onto. See thread in my sig…!

Lovely ‘91 Pine Mountain. I‘d also love to get my hands on a good condition Marin Rockstar amber wall tyre. I’ve got one good one on the back of my ‘92 Eldridge, and a front one with no centre grip. Seriously sketchy when it gets a little muddy!

Yup, Judy’s. That’s all anyone I remember wanted in 95/96. And ‘real men’ went for the red DH forks, even if they rode XC…

Re: Yup, think it’s around somewhere. You’re welcome to it for the cost of postage. IIRC it’s in fairly decent nick too.

Interested in the X-Lite stem for my RC200, but could be a bit long at 135mm. Need to measure up tomorrow morning! Whereabouts in Kent are you? Edit: Doh :facepalm: just seen the date of the first post. Assume this has well gone!

Re: Nice work. Definitely interested in some greens for Mrs Rouleur’s P7. She’s currently suffering with a set of elastomers cobbles together from some Rock Shox Indys.

Re: Re: Afraid not — still loving the ride. Took it out for a muddy blast just before Christmas. Only snag is I now need to totally redo the saddle. Turns out liquid Kiwi polish isn’t very permanent!

SJS have a few 135 OLD 32h hubs. Start at under 30 quid for a newish Deore, and end up over £160 for a rather lovely Hope RS4. https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/rear-hubs-r ... &width=135

Used several coats of the Kiwi paint on polish on the saddle for my Eldridge Grade. Looked great until my first muddy ride. My arse must have sanded all the polish off because it was back to square one after the ride. I’ve just ordered some black leather paint of eBay, so we’ll see how that...

Ooh, interesting!

FWIW, these look to be the fairly rare 1999 radiator crown version. Don’t be put off by the date. Aside from the crown, the rest of the parts can be co side red NOS. This from GoatSurfer: More here: https://www.goatsurfer.com/pace_forks.html#1999 The decals don’t quite match those on...

Re: Love that you’re using Suntour Self Energisers on the front. I guess that’s another benefit of Pace forks. Let us know how they go — assuming you don’t end up going over the front!

Love an old Marin. And I’m definitely from the “build it like you wanted it BITD” school of thought. Lovely though a catalogue spec build is, no one ever rode catalogue spec back then. There were just too many tasty anodised CNCed trick bits to buy...

Could be the grease in the shift mechanism. The stuff Shimano uses dries out over time and gets properly claggy. So, strip the shifter and clean with some degreaser or something like GT85. Regrease with something nice and light — stuff for forks like Pace RC7 or Judy Butter (non retro...

PM incoming re the Marin tyre.

Look more like a 91 or 92 to me. I think 93 was Marin’s dark grey period...

Wow, that all sounds really complicated. Has anyone ever thought of doing away with the front derailleur? :wink:

Noice! That stem needs flipping though...

Re: Thanks to you and Gary for taking a punt. It certainly made my life materially better!

Re: Marin Pine Mountain 1993 Don’t ‘spose you have photos (and a price in mind!) of the used Marin Lite tyres. I could do with a couple with decent life left in them.
