1990 Marin Team Marin

[AGT]

This bike / frame has been advertised on here at least twice and I bought it last week via eBay. I intend to rebuild it with XT parts from a donor bike.

This was the eBay advert.




Arrived:







Very pleased that it was supplied with an incredibly rare 30.3 mm seat-post.

I don't intend to replicate the exact spec from the 1990 brochure but this is the template for the rebuild.

The frame, forks, stem, etc., will be repainted very soon.

A new repaint of a zolatone frame? - very interested to see what happens next, was might tempted!

Lovely bike, wish I’d kept mine, looking forward to watching the build

Yes and although impossible to replicate, it needs doing. For a preview, see my 1990 Pine Mountain in the ‘Show us your Marin’ thread -
