Re: Wow!

.. What are you doing for a wheel set?

well the only thing I don't like from xt-737 group, are the hubs! so I'd rather take the fh-m732 and hb-m730 with araya rims

Very nice mate. 737 is myfavourite groupset.

I'm eager to see it completely built up bud.. Not sure about the P2's imo but it's your ride

Think i bid on that seat on the bay too :?

FWIW I think those P2s look fantastic on the Marin frame. Good choice. I'm putting some Specialized Direct Drive forks on my Overbury's as I think the original forks are bent. As long as it's more or less period and what we might have done back in the day...

My favourite ( 737 ) drivetrain but with spindly, Old Skool hubs. That's how I'd like to build it! Lovely bike and an inspiring thread, keep the photos coming mate.

I never realized just how nice the welds were on those old Marins. That is a very nice bike. Good luck

this Marin with the P2 fork not only looks fantastic but also drives well. It's much more agile.

But not all old Marins had this beautiful welds!

That's beautiful - probably the nicest Marin I've seen. And it isn't even finished yet... :shock:
