i was afraid you were going to say that..oh well,best get the cheque book out again

So, finally finished restoring the pre 90's marin pine mountain with one small problem - give it some beans and the chain slips from the back end somewhere - it's a new sram chain but I used the old cassette in order to keep the costs down, could this be the cause?

interested in the Bontrager steel quill stem could you pm me a pic please many thanks stefan

I have one word for you......BIOPACE! nearly finished the pre 90's pine mountain restoration but it came with biopace rings (the oval ones) and I'd like to change them - the bike has deore dx cranks and my question is - will a set of modern rings fit the cranks, or will I need to hunt down...

Bike is a pre-90's marin pine mountain in Tange steel - I have the original tange steel forks but I really wanted some straight ones

I see you can still get project 2's with a 1" steerer, but it's threadless, I need a 1" threaded fork, particulaly a straight leg fork rather than a curved one...any ideas?

thanks to everyone for the advice, I'll get measuring right now! it's not as easy as I thought this restoring lark!

Actually I have an even dumber question - I'm assuming that the difference between a 1" and a 1 1/8" is simply the diameter of the "hole" in the middle of the headset, rather than the height of any of the components - because I just tried an old shimano 105 headset I had lying around and it...

righto, thanks for that - apologies for the newbie question but whats IIRC? Have been looking for the last hour or so on chainreaction/ebay etc for a compatible headset but have found nothing so far in 1 1/8 size that a quill stem will fit? help!

Hello all - "Project Marin" is nearly complete, but I wonder if anyone can tell me what size headset a 1990/91 pine mountain with rigid Marin forks would take - I found a brand new shimano 105 headset in my bike bits drawer the other day so I'm hoping that will fit..but I doubt it. help much...

It's for an old Marin Pine Mountain - Ideally at least 400mm in length Not too fussed about the colour, but needs to be lightweight. many thanks Stef

come to think of it, neither were the Joy Division you bait the hook........

erm...right, thanks guys...I think what we are saying is that nobody knows! ha ha

Anyone know what size seatpost I need for this?, I don't have the one that came with the frame so it's tricky to measure appreciate your help with this Plus, looking for a drilled quick release seatpost bolt, who would have thought they were so hard to find!

cheers, I'll give some of those suggestions a go

cheers for the welcome guys, and the tips, I'll post some pictures when I have a minute p.s madcowkev - The Orange 5 is a awsome piece of kit, I love mine, I bought it at the end of last season so it's a 2006 frame with 2007 running gear on (much better rear shock) as they had no complete...

Hello everyone Total newbie when it comes to retro bikes, I normally ride with either an Orange 5 or a scott racing hardtail, but I've just been bitten by the bug and have been looking around for suitable project..well, it landed in my lap this weekend, I'm doing a full restore on a 1991...
