    That looks like an Alpinestars

    Always wanted one of these. Although I think they were meant to be a bit pants.

    Sorry, I have to disagree with everything they have said/done, their number 1 road bike has a triple on it.

    Alpinestars? Are you a bit mental? 😉

    More like a Dean or Clark Kent to me.

    I may be. But this was what came to mind. Minus the early 90s paint job

    Other e-stay brands were/are available! 🙂

    (No offense meant earlier, BTW, I hope none was taken!)

    None taken. It just a pleasure to look at all these old bikes.

    This is the holy grail of retroheads;

    Too much to take in there.

    Never knew that Marin built a twin shock frame.

    I wish I’d bought a few sets at the time. Although a tyre that wore out after a few rides never seemed a good idea.

    Never knew that Marin built a twin shock frame.

    From memory they used the Manitou shocks front and rear.

    Home made low slung E-stay singlespeed 29er. Works a treat and not broken yet (been using it since June)…… Blobbily fillet brazed, Columbus tubing.

    16″ chainstays (on a 29er), slackish 70 deg head and large rake (55mm) Singular Hummingbird forks.

    Rode it back to back with an Aluminium Trek Superfly 29er at Whinlatter during holidays – that thing felt positively ponderous. Climbs like a climby thing, no front wheel lifting and not twitchy at all – very happy with it. MK2 for next summer will be same basic dimensions tweaked to suit a suspension fork.

    I nearly bought a 1993 Al-Mega – it was on my final shortlist but got pipped by the Kilauea.

    But if it’s 1993 and we want something that just rides perfectly and always will:

    I wish I’d picked up one of the decathlon e stay frames when they were doing them, I’ve always fancied one.

    That’s a very nice bit of purple anodizing there, not in keeping with the excess of the day at all
