Thanks for the advice, I was waiting for a suitable frame for them and it sounds like this is the one. I have ordered a replacement front derailleur as the one that came with it was a top feed so it will have a Deore upgrade to match the shifters. Also it came with tektro breaks, what are your...

Mid 40's was a few years ago😄 I have a set of RST mozo comp front forks doing nothing at the moment, what are your thoughts on putting these on?

Thanks for this, liking the look of your mount vision. I have just finished a 2004 Team Marin and was thinking of another project, I think I have just found it!

Hi, Just picked this up yesterday from a chap who had it as a project and not enough time to complete it. He said it was a Marin East Peak. My belief is that there has been quite a few changes made. Based on pics I have seen online I think it is either a 2000 or 2001. It does have a 3x9 drive...

Hi all, I will admit that my knowledge of bottom brackets does not go beyond square tapered cartridge that can be removed with a Shimano tool. As a result I am hoping someone can give me some advice and or information on this beauty. The bike it is fitted to is a 94 Marin if that helps. As...

Thanks for the advice and information. As I would like to be able to stop the bike I will follow your suggestions. Regards

Hi, I am in the process of tidying up a 94 Team Marin and it has these brake pad housings, the pads were missing. They have BWi on the casing. A couple of things, Firstly, are they the correct ones for this period? Secondly, if they are correct, any idea where I can get replacement pads? Any...

Hi, I am pretty sure it is a 1999, I have one of these. Feels ok to ride. As for the price, no idea. These were pretty much bottom of the GT range but a nice solid bike.

Hi, are the m737 shifters still available?

Hi, Are the shifters still available? Regards

Hi, I have just picked up a 91 pagan, it has the pink cables and 1 bottle cage if you are still hunting?

Hi, I am learning towards this, just trying to find some touch up paint, colour matching is not that easy though.

Lol

Thanks for the advice, I will take note. Any idea where I could get some touch up paint?

Worse than beaten, a look of disappointment, this would be worse if she caught me putting the tyres in the washing machine! I was thinking of restoring it, big worry is finding a rear wheel. Any idea on the best place for replacement decals? Regards the bottom bracket, what type should it have?

This is how it looks at the moment

A couple of spots of surface rust, it looks like it was dry stored, I gave it a quick clean and for a 28 year old bike it is really good shape. I am thinking respray, regrease/replace bearings, new cables and breaks. It still has Marin lite tyres that look spot on. All the gearing, breaks and...

Thanks for the reply. I am looking forward to riding it, I am a little surprised I got it at that price, the more I am learning the more surprised and pleased I am.

Thanks, I am thinking of going a little further, I have an uncle who is a car sprayer so maybe a full strip, respray, new decals etc. See how much I can learn. Would you say this is a keeper? I normally work on a bike then give it to a family member or friend.

Intended purpose, tinkering really, I would say an enthusiastic amateur mechanic. I refurbed a 1990 Claud Butler LX400 at the beginning of the first lockdown and got the bug of retro bikes and have worked on several other various bikes since . I always wanted a Marin and got this by accident.
