Cheers! Really nice to ride too 👍

It really is!

Cheers!

And he is finished! Cabled up and ready to ride (when it’s nice weather). May still get some gloss black dmr V8 Classic pedals, but that is something to think on another day

Thank you; really pleased with it!

Oooh and the regulation deore XT shark fin is on!

A few bits added on today; front and rear mechs, sugino cranks on with a rather cool middleburn granny ring, and the shifter/brake levers are on, with front brake set up with some kool stop eagle 2 pads. Also the saddle, which whilst modern, is comfy and I like the look of the shorter nosed...

great frameset; I think that is the best colour way they ever did for the team Marin. Good luck with the restoration!

They were done by the in house design team at Argos Racing for this project; as a result though they now have them on file so they can use again for any other team marin restorations 👍

Cheers! They are great frames; really good geometry for such an old bike

Thank you! looking forward to finishing it but waiting on a couple of bits but well chuffed with it so far!

Thank you! It’s so bright! The guys at Argos Racing came outside with the frame to show me it in sunlight to get the full fluro effect 😳

how it looks after my fettling today; ritchey logic headset, zoom bars, inline seatpost and titanium seat clamp bolt. Sweet Jesus it’s so yellow in the sunlight it burns the retinas

XT and hope Ti glide hubs on halo rims. Modern rims as I intend to use this and I don’t want retro rims to implode. Terra One tires

Titanium bottle cage bolts for the crucial performance gain…

I have always been a Marin man. My first ever mtb was a 1992 Marin Muirwoods. A couple of months or so ago, I bought a rough as a badger 1995 Team Marin. It had a bad respray with the bb and headset still in, but I saw a diamond in the rough and sought advice from my brother (classicdodo on this...

I will be there on Sunday; either bringing a 91 Marin palisades or a 94 team Marin. Although the 91 is a better retro bike, I may bring the 94 as I like it and it’s nice to ride over the field from the car park

Possibly the greatest year cinder cone; the paint colour on that is awesome
