Re:

Very, very good!

I'm on the look out for a 89 Pine Mountain to do something similar so if I ever find one I may need to pick your brains about the colour.

That's a grand job there.

A proper restoration. Looks just as it should.

Beautiful restoration.

My first mountain bike was a 1990 Marin Muirwoods. It's no exaggeration to say that it changed my life... I've always regretted selling it (tho' the sale part-funded a Dyna-Tech back in '92), and I was super happy to find another one a couple of years back. I could never tire of looking at those M A R I N downtubes.
