Re:

I tidied mine by touching it up with Humbrol satin black model enamel and it looks ok.

Hi mate,

I wish i could do the same, it really does need a repaint, the forks are covered in surface rust and the chips are all over

I still see Ian, not as much as i used to mind, He was at my brother-in-laws wedding last year.
He used to come in on saturdays, some times on his green klien attitude, ( which he may still have ).

I built loads of marins up back then, they're good bikes and we never had any returns, not like the alpinestars they sold.

I loved working there, shame it closed down They used to get some really cool stuff in at times and some times before any where else in the UK..

Happy days.......,when stuff was cool

You might remember me, i was the long haired mechanic that used to cycle there on a yeti ultimate amongst others. from ormskirk.
