Wow! Looks great

That is a sick looking build! Well done!

After putting the Marin on a long time out, I put the frame and fork up for sale as something wasn't jiving with the build. No takers on the listing so I picked up some new bits to see if I can make this build click

- 26"x2.1" Ultradynamico Cava's
- Race Face Ride pedals
- Syncros seatpost that is soon to have a date with the Easy Off oven cleaner
- Charge Spoon saddle in Miami Fade
- XT V-brakes and purple Oury grips not pictured

If you ever decide to sell that saddle please give me first dibs. It's the missing piece for my 91 Hooger Booger Blaster. TIA Simon.

I ordered it from a bike shop in New Zealand. Seems to be where all the colorful Charge Spoon saddles landed. Pricey to ship but I needed this saddle

I think I know the website you mean, how much did it cost in total to get it over here?

I passed on one on eBay in the UK at £50 recently, that's looking like an error on my part now.

And I'm still on version 1.0...well, more like version 0.95 because it's still missing some details.
