I was going to bid on it, so nearly bought it and if i'd been around when it ended at £32 I'd have not worried about the drive but a 2hour drive for it seemed to much at the time.

Good buy, please keep it original, as it's in such original shape now.

You could start a whole thread on the weird and wonderful tag lines stuck on secondhand bikes, you've just got to post a close up of those forks when you get the bike, somehow I can't see Gill having a run on look-a-like repoductions.

Seems to be a lot of interest in the early marins again...always good to see
 
Hmmm - the forks - even though I love the "Move yo ass" - Our lass isn't or no way resembles a Move yo ass person - lol.

I think i will be putting a single 38T or 42T ring on the front, 2 set of shifters would put her over the edge.

I'll be respraying all the Yellows - Yellow

I'll also be respraying the frame - where do i get the Matt grey and finish coat. Halfords?

Am new to this forum - anyone do Decals? seen them on ebay but only single colours - would want as close to original as possible.

Will post pick of the job as it starts friday night - also gonna involve junior (16) as I think its about time he learned some mechanical skill on the gold GT.

Ross
