1997 Marin Mount Vision is growing up tonight

[jimwise68]

Big thanks to Matttymm for his patience on sending my new frame out.

I have a 1997 original MMV but it is the small size. I only bought it as I have wanted one since they came out and haven't been able to find the perfect one.

Today though the correct size frame has landed with me and the strip down and build tonight.

Here is the last pic of the small frame before it grows up to a medium size.

Only taken 24 years for the dream to happen

Is there a thread of the year as this should win.

The difference a couple of inches makes!

 

[Matttymm]

Jim. That’s come together quickly. Nice work.

Looks so much more right. Brilliant.

Well done mate.

So happy it’s found the right home.

BOTM for me.

Cheers mate, thanks for letting it come my way.

Does look so much better in the medium size. As you said, and I agree, it looks kiddyish in the small size.

Just need some sunshine now to get a better pic.

Said the actress, to the vicar...

Sweet looking bike this, my bro had one, first full suss I ever rode. He had Z1's and some Orange G-Force bars fitted by our lbs, prior to collecting it. Looked rad.
White industries cranks and front hub?

Haha, I was going to say; "that is what I tell the wife."

Yep, beautiful looking bikes, remember the seeing the advert when they came out.

It is all original (except tyres) has the White Industries Crank and front hub.
