My 1997 Marin Quake 9.0

[Retro JB]

So, here's my 1997 Marin Quake 9.0

I bought it October 2014, in need of a little help so i thought I'd take it on give it a new lease of life before it ended up being recycled into a satellite dish or something.

Thanks to all who helped me with advice, sold me parts, powder coated, made decals and my mate Martin who is making the carbon fibre frame protectors for me as we speak, or at least he should be

The Pace forks are a must in my opinion.

Aye, very nice indeed. Good to see a different paint scheme from the usual silver

The Pace forks weren't my first choice, I was going to use the originals (Manitou FS), but I broke them whilst rubbing them down for painting. I stumbled across these which were in A1 condition so i couldn't resist. I'm please with the chain of events, cause I like these more.

Thanks for all the comments guys.

The frame is finished in pretty standard powder coat orange but the RAL number escapes me, and is a lot different in Sunlight. I'm building a couple more at the moment and I'll post 'em up when they're ready.

Unless a bike has Hope and Pace bits it doesn't count!
