Euro – I see what you did with that now. I think it looks menacing but then again I’m one of the old ‘giffers’ that keep being referred to.
I have a 19″ 1992 Team Marin with a 2006 100mm travel Rockshock Tora 318 on it….I must say it does rather make it look like a chopper! The Team Marin was beautiful when new. Yes I bought it new in about 1992 when Marin were de-rigueur, so old it was pre v-brake even. It is knickel plated but that is severely giving up now and £80 to have it shot blasted and re-plated just doesn’t seem worth it now.
Anyway, the forks are going onto the Mount Vision soon as that frame arrived today which is in fantastic condition and with an immaculate Fox Float R shock. I’ll upgrade to disk brakes when I can afford them – probably when I next need a new wheel and now that zippykona has kindly scanned the adaptor for me, top man.
zippykona – how do your two bikes ride out of interest?
