Where has the time gone! My Marin is still pretty much how I left it in the last post but the accumulation of parts has grown some what expensively! This week I took delivery of the final pieces to make upa 1x11 M8000 groupset. I am keeping the Mavic Crossrides so have not got the M8000 hubs.
I have a pair of Panaracer small block 2.25 tyres and a new saddle of my favourite type but with a colour flash to match my planned finish. I now need to find the time to disassemble the bike, remove the bosses for the rear V brakes and front mech cable runs. Then on to powder coat!
Despite all this time I am still wavering on colour, but I think it will be white. I can then either use the Marzoochi or Rockshox forks. I will look to get the decals reprinted to match the new saddle highlights.
If anyone wants to see a M8000 groupset in Boxes shout out and I will post up some pictures.
