Ok, so it is a '97 so just makes it into this section :)

Finally picked up a 1997 Marin Mount Vision. I have a '98 in large but always wanted the 97 and in my size.

I remember seeing an advert in one of the MTB mags when they came out and admiring how beautiful the shape was and how wonderful it was to see a chrome bike again, after my years of BMX in the early 80s.

She came from the original owner and has had a very easy life. More storage marks than trail abuse and more cobwebs and dust than dirt. But all there and all completely original.

So time to strip down and clean and polish the life out of her.

Here is how she came:



...and here is how I intend to get her to look:



So the tyres need to go. :)

Cleaned the frame, forks, front derailleur, rear derailleur and put a different set of tyres on.
