[topper]

Hi , I've got an old Marin Nail Trail , aluminium frame - which has a few cracks in it ( will update pics thie]s w/e) can these be repaired ?
If so can anyone recommend some place ?
Its from the late 80's or early 90's...


thanks

a few cracks :shock:

Think we sould wait for the pictures, it all depends on the size and where the cracks are.

It'll be from around 94-95 I think.

You're right. If it has square tubed chainstays then it'll be '94 IIRC
Incidently, one of my fav bikes

the square shaped chainstays were a feature of the 1995 indian fire trail only. the 1995 nail trail had the same frame design as the aluminium frames in the years before.

Polish it and hang it on the wall - never ride it again.

A bugger, it was Indian fire trail i was thinking of!

That crack look pretty terminal to me too, you don't want to risk a repair there, as the front and rear end of bike parting company while riding is not good fun
