1995 Marin Team Titanium

[FireDancer]

I used to ride a lot at school and uni, but got interested in other things since (discovered girls, motorbikes and cars!). Used to ride with a great bunch of guys at uni who I have failed to keep in touch with very well. Anyway I still ride the same bikes I did back then, and it seems that they have kinda come back into fashion!

This is my 1995 Marin Team Titanium which I have owned from new. Most of the kit on it is the same vintage, except what wore out or broke.

Very nice, and similar to my mates. Is that the original Manitou brace on the forks?

Thanks.

The brace is something I had bolted to my BMX to enable me to run DX V-brakes. I took off the canti bosses to use it as a brace, because it gives a good pivot point for the Onza brakes. It is far chunkier than needed but I haven't changed it because it works really well.

Fair point, but I never take a camera when I go riding though. I'll have to get creative in the back garden.
