    Overburys E Stay

    Thought I should create a build thread for this having sought some advice on repair and paint in the general chat thread. Bought from Si in here, the year before, had a go building it up as it was, but couldn't really get the seat post binder to work satisfactorily, as Si said! For sale link...

    Overburys, ebay

    There was a lovely silver/grey one that sold on here for £500, with very mint m730 group and the benefit of an Argos respray. Only a month or so ago. Makes this one lo ludicrously overpriced

    Overburys, ebay

    Marmite Paint job, uninspiring build. Would sell for £300-400 I reckon. Asking price is just silly.

    When did it lose it for you.....

    I think it's all been said here already, that late 80s, early 90s rush of the new, coinciding with the time in our lives when we were so open to this new excitement. Bit like when a new band breaks, cool insiders at first, momentum builds, break out, hit singles, cool and mainstream for 18...

    Help from Marin gurus

    You could try a Warhammer shop, great range of paints in there and the staff in there are nerdy enough to be interested in helping you out with an old bike

    Help from Marin gurus

    It's a decent old frame that and the components are reasonable and look in decent condition. So I agree with the others that you have a £65 bargain, and with a bit of love could easily be restored to a fine bicycle. Big question is does it fit? If it's not the right size, it's not going to be...

    What do do about stretched binder bolt lugs

    Yep, if you have somewhere local, could be worth asking them. It's a lovely bike and you've owned it from the beginning, so well worth a bit of time to work out what's going on before getting the hacksaw out!

    Who remembers when……

    I've just Karmaed everything I was hoarding and unlikely to use. Very liberating. I got to the point of damaging really nice bikes due to lack of space and having to shift stuff around all the time.

    What do do about stretched binder bolt lugs

    As others have said, sounds like theres more to it than the design, as lets face it, loads and loads of bikes have the same set up and dont have this issue. Sounds like the tubes deformed now after years of overtightening. If you have a decent bike shop near you it might be worth getting them...
