That Kona seat clamp is just to goad me... right?

Peachy, while I applaud the build and attention to detail... is that at GT cable end on the rear brake??!

Tee hee

Don’t worry, a 90’s Marin job is on its way (one day)

Quick break from Mother’s Day duties....
Employed the use of a Parktools CRP1 crown race puller for the first time and it was child’s play!
(Yes I know this is an indulgent piece of non-essential kit, but when my LBS sole owner decided to retire at 70, he offered me some of his kit at a silly cash price because he ‘can’t be arsed’ with eBay... what could I do?)


Then it’s on with a Ritchey Comp head set into the head tube whilst the forks spend the evening in the freezer...

Indulgent but very satisfying to use I bet.

Oh yes..... super easy, it just eased the crown race up like an easy thing on a Sunday morning

Day 1 of 84 (minimum) at home…does seem very strange but also very necessary… :|
Kids had their first taste of online schooling and Mrs Peachy didn’t want me to feel left out so I had quite a job list…. :roll:

At the end of the day we did get an hour in the workshop though,
After fitting the secondhand Ritchey stem, Our Jimmy realised that there were a few scratches that would benefit from a little detailing.


Comp headset and WCS stem....


Matched with a WCS riser bar….(real used, not cheap repro)

Front wheel consisting of Campag rim, XTR hub and LX QR all sitting just right in those FSX Judys…

BTW, just seen this post on Facebook from Gil at RetroDecals with a new Marin swoosh with the WCS colours in the correct order this time on their way :facepalm:
