1992 Marin team issue - restored and ridden

[Mod-Master]

Yes racer x it’s the one I bought from you! Recovered.

So I’m looking for a nice and light seatpost but my USE one is knackered due to probably being stuck at one point… buuuuut I’ve found a lovely dean titanium seatpost I’m making negotiations on so fingers crossed

I can probably live with the forks if I change the arch. Anyone have any cool mag 21 brake arches they’d consider selling?

How it stands, looks pretty good I’d say

(Don’t worry, that abomination of a quick release will be gone soon..)

Why abomination. I think my team issue has the very same one. Is this not the original one?

No it’s not it’s some cheap one that works absolutely horridly. Some weird non camlock mechanism.

After a while away I’ve come up with some upgrades, some more period rock shox mag21s with the gold stanchions and also a black Controltech stem.

Also some maxxis minion tyres for £4

Hows that going to help your weight loss program! At nearly 1kg each! You will be back to exage level weight if your not careful!

To be honest I don’t really mind now, I’ve got 2 carbon bikes I can channel my weight weenie power into and I just wanted some nice large tan walls so if that’s the price to pay then I’m happy

And I mean come on they were £4 for the pair…
