1990 Marinoni special mtb

Dang. Hope you can pound out the wedge from below. I once had to desolve a stuck (aluminium) wedge with caustic soda. Worked well apart from ruining the paint of the fork.

And am I seeing this right that the frame has a subtle fade from lighter to darker green?

Correct, the front is darker than the rear, with chrome DS chain stay. Fork is chrome under green as well. And the coveted Giuseppe Marinoni signature on the top tube, indicating it was made in Quebec by the man himself. This one is very special, a custom built to fit, he bought it from the original owner.
She petted it fondly and said a soft goodbye to an old friend when we picked it up. She put some serious miles on it

Was originally going to paint but after thinking about it the previous owner rode this thousands of km all over Canada and US this bike has earned its wear so clean seal new decals

The "WOW" reaction above is for how organized that bench is! Look at all those wrenches hanging in ascending order
