Marin Nail Trail 96'

[Moglix]

Sorry for the quick fire builds, got 3 on the go here in NZ.. Just realised need 5 posts before can message etc
Here's a Marin Nail Trail i just scored. Have some early race face cranks to tidy up then will chase some more parts
On the fence about sanding polishing back to mirror as know how much effort it'll take... but watch this space

So making slow progress but getting there..
have polished frame, made new decals, all be it free form, new shoes, and one more round of polishing to go on cranks…

Sweet. These are much underrated frames that handle very well. Love the direction you’re taking with this one.

Love a good re-imagined Marin! What process / products were used for the polishing please?

That stem looks awesome on the adaptor without the need for spacers!
Love the bars too - they look great proportions and finish for the bike! Are they surly's or something else?

Hey, sorry for not replying earlier... I got a felt disc for an angle grinder and went to town with that. TBH it's not the best/ most even finish but was happy with the result. Ideally would go through the grades of steel wool to get super even... Didn't even autosol once finished so could prob get it more mirror too if I tried

Yeah, bars are surly sunrises I got acid stripped as were black, then gave a super quick tidy up. Will probably polish up a little more..
