Excuse me asking, but what attaches to the plate you have on the seat tube bottle bosses?

It’s a Granite strap mount thingy to carry a toolbag or spare tube. I had some spare stainless button heads to affix to the bottle cage mounts. It hasn’t been used yet…probably should remove it.

Here is my 94 Pine Mountain, I bought the frameset as a replacement for my Bear Valley that died in a car crash and fitted the remaining parts. Bit later I decided to turn it into a single speed. Now it is even more fun to ride in my opinion.

I am having to put this project on hold. I can no longer use the conservatory to work on it as it is not christmasy enough! I tried to argue that the polished frame would reflect the Xmas lights but no joy.

I once had a matte dark green Bontrager. That would have gone well with the Christmas tree sadly I passed it on.

That did make me chuckle, the big question would be do the decals match the lights though?

It is not all bad, I am quite pleased with how this bike has polished up so I am going to strip and polish a 93 nail trail that I have. I was planning on upgrading it with LX and a Manitou Mach 5 sx fork so just a bit more work. Plus I can simply put the frame in shed at the end of each sanding/polishing session.

Decals were black and gold, so I would rather say yes. The perfect Christmas bike it was.
I will not post a picture as I do not want to hijack this Marin thread though

Go ahead

Alright, here we go:


Shame I gave it away, but the empty feeling aftwerwards started me wanting to restore some old bikes.
So its not all negative.

... would gladly get another one like that though...
