Nothing wrong with the pics, just that there is a two pic max in the comps. You can edit the post and remove the two you dont want to keep

mclaren680's Before and after restomod '95 Marin Pine Mountain

No build thread, but suffice to say it was stripped completely and Spray.Bike'd, plus M735/9 XT brakes and drivetrain, and Mavic Ceramic wheelset added.

Loving this - similar look (but way better graphics) than my own Marin restomod. Now you have me wondering how mine would look with more modern wheels...
