Retro Newbie
Hi , I've got an old Marin Nail Trail , aluminium frame - which has a few cracks in it ( will update pics thie]s w/e) can these be repaired ?
If so can anyone recommend some place ?
Its from the late 80's or early 90's...


thanks

a few cracks :shock:

Think we sould wait for the pictures, it all depends on the size and where the cracks are.

It'll be from around 94-95 I think.

You're right. If it has square tubed chainstays then it'll be '94 IIRC
Incidently, one of my fav bikes ;)

the square shaped chainstays were a feature of the 1995 indian fire trail only. the 1995 nail trail had the same frame design as the aluminium frames in the years before.

A bugger, it was Indian fire trail i was thinking of!

That crack look pretty terminal to me too, you don't want to risk a repair there, as the front and rear end of bike parting company while riding is not good fun :(
