86 Marin Palisades Trail

[Mickymech]

Saved this from scrap pile last year and finally did a bit of work on it this week with some brave albeit impractical new tires. Love the look through.

The bike is in reasonable original condition. I’ve replaced the handlebars and stem with some generic but period correct bullmoose bars and chucked a touring saddle on it to make it more cushy. Have kept the original bits Incase. Rides really nicely and love that they don’t get much older than this for Marin.

Always good to see an early Marin saved from the scrap pile, And that's a lovely colour too...

Beautiful and great save!

Love the colour on this one and the tyres go really well with it.

Thankyou! Love the colour too! The black tires it had before, just didn’t do it justice.

Thanks! . I use the word ‘scrap pile’ fairly liberally. It had been set aside without being thrown Around too hard.
