1992 Marin team issue - restored and ridden

[Mod-Master]

Where are pictures with the new tires? Also, are you looking for full carbon bars or carbon-wrapped aluminum? Uncut or cut slightly to xxx? You’re in the EU?

I’m in the uk so shipping handlebars may be costly. I think Jon rock has a set of nice profile carbon wrapped bars though..
and yeah I would want carbon wrapped as I’m too scared to ride full carbon

Pics here


Cables look better in black I say

Still need to set up the front brake as the adjustable spanner I have here at home is too thick to fit inbetween the brace and pinch bolt so I need to get my smaller spanner that’s at the garage.

VP's . With all due respect they're shit . There's a reason they're light !

I should have said why I think that , apologies . I had a pair that the cages were really flimsy and the thread stripped on the cage bolt when the cage got clattered .

No worries, I did realise the cages basically weighed nothing when i took the screws out.

I ordered new decals for it so they’ll arrive within a few days.

I wanted them in black but sadly they didn’t do the “team issue” model decals in black even though there were other colours.

So I just ordered them from dnfive in fluorescent yellow. Also a new headbadge.

I have a feeling that the original colour is more of a fluorescent green - like postits

Oscarsbowl is best placed on this.

I think these are right, No?



The repro ones are a bit brighter than the originals I think.
