    Lovely Marin Bear Valley 89

    I bought the 91 palisades frame the same guy was selling. Really nice condition, the fluoro is still bright

    90 Marin Palisades...£29! Plus muriwoods £30.

    My friend bought that palisades! (on my recommendation haha). I hadn’t seen this post . That eBay seller seems to get a lot of those kind of bikes, my friend is collecting today so interested to hear what the setup is there

    Unusual format - a 'real' hybrid - no pictures, but it sure looked like it worked for the fella

    The reverse mullet! This bloke might be a visionary , a pioneer .

    Marin Pine Mountain

    I touched up the worst rusty spots on a 91 zolatone palisades with some air fix paint. I can dig out the colours I used if you’d like but I think i actually ended up mixing a few together . It’s by no means perfect but it doesn’t look too bad (from a distance) and that dark textured grey frame...

    Wanted 27.5 boost wheelset

    I’d like to upgrade the wheels on my modern😳bike, if anyone’s got any nice 27.5 boost wheels for general trail riding? Tubeless, ideally shimano HG so I can straight swap the 11spd cassette . Want something a bit lighter/better than the WTB ones I’ve got currently . Cheers

    Very kind, thanks! Route 78 the Caledonia way I think. I can’t pretend I have done much research - very much tagging along haha. I know we begin alongside Loch Ness, Im looking forward to it! This is how the bike is looking now , not sure about this adjustable stem, seems to be some play in...

    These are the wheels I’ve currently got on the bike, think they came from a 95 Marin. Assuming the rims aren’t worn (which I need to check…metal ruler on the rim surface?) do you think they are up to the job? Going to be carrying a fair bit of weight , mainly me, but also 2 panniers etc. don’t...

    Some adaptions done, it’s not pretty! 🫣 Trying an adjustable stem that I forgot I had, riser bars , straight seat post, new saddle and rack. Now I need to get out and see if the back pain benefits outweigh the style negatives haha. Will have bar ends but I’m not putting those esi grips back on...
