1993 Marin Palisades Trail

[legrandefromage]

For 3 hours work at the tip, I received nice almost perfect Marin palisades trail. Looks to be a 18".


The rear drop outs are quality and deserve better components than the Acera stuff currently in use.

Sadly no wheels to go with it but I will have a play with what I have.

thinking black M563 LX mechs/ shifters?

Its been about 7 years since I last saw a decent Marin at the tip, my last one was a pretty high end model that I turned into a summer beach cruiser...

Very nice, still cant believe what decent stuff people skip around you :shock:

Never anything decent in my local tip

Black Lx should look good I think.

Cant beat a nice Marin in that battleship grey.

Are your barends on upside-down or is it just the way they're hanging?

 

[legrandefromage]

Bars are a'hangin upside dooon.


I only work there now and again to cover while one of the regulars is away.

another quality find.
My girlfriend thinks i love DIY because I'm always offering to take things down / apart / rip them up around the house and take to the skip, but its only so i can see if anyone is stupid enough to have thrown a classic out

Another great find!

I really want an early marin like that.

It's a fantastic find, the frame is in better condition than my Marin that I've owned from new and still ride. :shock:

3 hours work, say about £45

seems reasonable
