Does the frame number F27IACO55 indicate 1997?, seems late for the cantilever bridge....

Marin didn't mess about with frame sets even on entry level bikes, triple butted!!! Thanks for that minor_LEGEND: I best make it safe to ride and have a go. Don't suppose you have one and if so what are your impressions of the Bobcat trail?

Ive been fancying a steel Marin for quite a while and a quick look on gumtree found this locally for $20. It goes against my new mantra of NOT buying any bikes but $20.... I don't know about the hierarchy of these steel Marins but from what little I have found it looks like its not at the bottom...

I like that idea 💡 maybe carbon wrap to match the bars and forks….. I may as well, it’s wearing the blue bolts I found in a drawer labelled “ don’t use anything from this drawer, you’ll look like a shell suit wearing chav “

It’s gods punishment for me, all those times as a kid when my spare change stayed in my pocket in church lol 😂

I might get a marker pen and write “not” on the left and “me” to the right of it. Maybe put an LED in there, make a feature of it lol

Some good ideas there, I’ve got some black electrical tape and some silver spray…🤔 lol Small button head bolt and a tube nut in the back might be good 👍 cheers. It hurts my eyes and heart to see it!!

Thanks very much for the compliments, much appreciated. I’ve got Stumpjumpers, Kona Cindercone and have had all sorts of higher priced bikes but they ride amazingly well.

Someone drilled a slightly off centre hole in this bridge at 90 degrees to the factory one under the bridge. I thought about a rivnut but and a pretty bolt but I’d have to drill it out larger and I’m not keen on that. There’s always a new bridge but that’s a bit extreme and would mean a full...

Last of the steel Rockhoppers, 1999

‘99 Rockhopper Nitanium. Getting there…..

looks like a great project 👍

This is my first attempt at a paint repair, although the shade is wrong and there’s an obvious line where I tried to conserve the decals I’m happy enough with that. Can’t be too precious, it is a do it all Frankenhopper after all. I fancy going to the York cycle festival next weekend and I’d...

What a beautiful bike!! I like the rear caliper mount, a very solid design looks great as it is. I wouldn’t have trimmed it down either.

I like that, thanks for sharing 👍

That looks sweet 👍 I bet it rides well

If you have two, I'll take one....

Then screw in the hose guide and beautification bolt for the other side….

Thanks, 5 bolt 170 would be fantastic, 5 bolt S-works 170 would be unicorn then lol 😂
