    1991 Marin Palisades

    I like this. Such a cool colour combo on this Palisades, quite iconic the yellow imo, it could have easily been the flagship Team colours & would have been very popular. Congrats on giving her a good home.

    91 Marin Pine Mountain

    image 4262 of the crank. At approx 11 o'clock there is a flat topped tooth. That is perfectly normal Shimano tooth design & not wear. Lovely progress btw, nice colour choice.

    chain waxing

    /\ Have to say I agree with most of that /\ I will add, some of the lubes ALDI/Lidl etc have on specials is a different product to many of the ones you'll find from typical industry cycle retailers. But the ceramic lube (oil) is a total mare to clean from chains. I couldn't find a solvent...

    Marin Bear Valley

    98? 97 was the first year of the ovalised tubes if I am not mistaken. Looks a touch newer than that though I reckon. A good score though from a skip.

    Marin frame commonality

    Bear Valley & Eldridge, typically the same, the models below each share a frameset of a lesser spec. The Pine Mtn is a standalone & obviously over the years there are Team Issue & Team Marin of varying tubing variant. So I would say that outlines the frame 'quality' amongst the staple models.

    Am I so out of touch with modern cycling?

    Modern cycling is in a massive tail-spin & doesn't know what it is up to.

    chain waxing

    I've been hot waxing for almost 2 years. I love how it is so clean compared with oiling, but it is flawed for use in the UK climate. It just can't cope with cold & wet conditions. And the idea it can last 1000's of kms between applications is just laughable. To be honest, I would say don't...

    Help me to choose : gt tequesta 93 vs bravado 97

    Something I failed to mention in my first post is the rear brake spec. Pre 93 bikes had a U-brake which can't be switched with canti's or V's. Worth knowing if you specifically intend to run V's or want that classic look of a U-brake & a bonkers paint job.

    Somewhere up the Col du Izoard. (possibly my fave Alpine climb) After descending the Izoard you get this gorge & river to follow. The Gorge du guille. Stunning.
