    Marin East Peak, help with year please

    Hi, Your picture was so good I have been on the lookout for one of these. I managed to find a frame and forks last month so am just getting the parts together to build one. Am I correct in thinking that it would have M739 kit on it?

    1998 Marin Mount Vision

    Hi, I have just picked up a 1998 Marin Mount Vision frame with original Manitou forks and White industries crank. It all looks solid enough so current plan is to polish the frame and restore to catalogue spec. The big question I am hoping someone can answer is what XT groupset did it have? I am...

    Next 2 projects, 90 Pine Mountain and 93 IFT. Aiming to go back to catalogue spec or as near as I can on both. The Zolatone paint on the Pine Mountain is pretty trashed with rust so a trip to the sand blaster is planned. I was loathe to do this as I really like the texture but not knowing what...

    Campagnolo Thorr rims and Manitou MSport forks

    Thanks for the info. I checked the hubs a little closer and they are Deore XT so I am guessing that someone rebuilt the wheels with the new rims.

    Campagnolo Thorr rims and Manitou MSport forks

    Just picked up a 93 Marin Indian Fire Trail and it had these Parts on it. I am hoping that someone reads this and has some information/advice about them. The rims seem to have a concave shape to them, this is consistent all around on both so I assume that this is supposed to be there. The hubs...

    Help with Shimano front derailleur

    My wife kindly bought me a 1990 Marin Pine Mountain to keep me occupied. It had been stripped of both front and rear derailleur as well as the original breaks. It did come with a bag of bits including the original derailleurs. I did manage, through retro bike, to get replacement breaks but there...

    1990 Pine Mountain Knaresborough

    Hi, Picked it up today and there is quite a bit of rust poking through. The wheels are unbelievably true. Most of the parts are there with a few extra gear pods. It looks like a bigger project than anticipated. I am going to need a bigger shed!
