Thank you! And I agree, I love all three of mine. Weirdly my East Peak is the lightest :/ (12.3) probably down to tyres? I have a 2000 Rock Springs with 1x10 Zee and X Vert dual stanchion shocks. A 2000 Wolf Ridge mish-mash which isn’t quite ready to run yet, needs a headset. A 95% original...

Any updates? :)

That’s right maybe I can PM you thiugh

Hi I will indeed post out to you

Loving the Ritchey gravel bike 👌 any build thread or is that as it comes?

Kona sold “scratch and sniff” and “Lumpy Gravy”front and rear tyres… and Onza attempted something similar the not so hilariously named “Dan and Dave” front and rear pairings

Really good geometry and they feel rapid, apparently because of the “afterburner” stays (something to do with stiff chain stays, apparently).

I’m thinking of this documentary…fairly recent:

Orange was the first British brand which sprung to mind when thinking of Marin. Not because of the place names but because of its following and I suppose the fact they were properly made in the UK.

New grips 😎

When I was around 15 I became quite attached to Marin bikes and lusted after one until buying a 93 Palisades Trail. The brochure, the bumf about race-bred, lightweight innovations and the American location really sold it to me. As well as my friends also having them at the time (a Eldridge Grade...

This little rocket

Sorry I think it came up as a suggested thread on one I was reading. Glad you got it sorted! :)

New tyres next I’m thinking and replace the cracked Alivio shifters with some others from the parts bin. Edit: although they work flawlessly
