Re: Thanks for taking the time to reply Hamster. I'm actually wondering now if it might be more worth my time spending a little bit of cash on it to make it road worthy. It's a bit sad I know, but I would like a bike I could run into town on and not worry about too much if that makes sense...

Morning all, I have owned this bike from new, but it hasn't had much use for the last probably 20 years! It is completely original, IIRC aside from the tyres. The frame does have some rust sadly, but presume it could be treated\sandblasted and built up to a decent standard. Paintwork is...

Pic for you :D Finally out of storage. http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/1481525/

Re: Help/advice needed on restoring a 1991 Marin Palisades T Hi Steve, no problems, when I get it back from storage will do the deed, but it isn't much to look at to be honest at the moment :cry: http://www.retrobike.co.uk/gallery2/mai ... emId=12569 Download that brochure, and it...

Guys, planning to resurrect my 91 Palisades trail - 300LX groupset originally, but I expect rather past it now. I know the shift levers on one side are bent at the very least. What would be an equivalent, and will there be any issues with the modern items expecting big chunky tubes, and...

Cheers TP - great thread, have just e-mailed Gil, and will see what he comes back with :-) Also searched for other Marin threads, and have found a wealth of info, including the 1991 brochure I remmeber looking through that helped me decide to get the Palisades in question - awesome website...

Hello all, complete newbie here, a member of another forum suggested I posted on here :D I have a bike as per the title, which is a little the worse for wear - does anyone remember them? Dark grey frame, with NEON yellow forks/stem/handlebars. Double butted chromoly frame, with a 300LX...
