Had this from new and was my trusty XC race bike for years, so i finally got round to giving her a good clean up and makeover!
I've ditched the multi coloured anodising (which was fun but just wrong) in favour of a blue theme, it seems to suit the frame colour more. On go some NOS velociraptors, as it was still on the original Marin tyres, a Ritchey Forcelite stem up front to match the USE post which gets a polish, new chain, cassette and correct Sugino rings, BB is replaced with new and OMG it rides like the day I bought it!
The first pic shows how it was before, a kaleidoscope of anodised wrongness which was left unattended for far too long...
looks much better now I think!
