1989 Marin Muirwoods complete restoration (picture heavy)

[prezza]

Like me.... I bumble with the kids on my retro bikes as I spend so much time and effort getting them like new ...

I use my modern CX bikes and road bike to train...

Be good to see a pic of it ‘on a bimble’

Certainly is!!

That looks amazing, looking to do similar with mine. Could i ask what the RAL code is for the colour you used? Painters try to stay away from the 1026 neon.

It is 1026 and kept in a dark room!

Could i ask who did the job for you? I would like to get mine powder coated in 1026 neon. Cheers David

This is an amazing build.

Could you tell me, what seat post diameter did you use?

I have a 1989 Muirwoods project I am about to start. The bike was in quite a state when I got it, and a seatpost was shimmed into the frame with a cheap steel adapter, so nothing really precise to measure even.
