Well I've brought this same one twice now, first time it was 10 quid, this time round it was 5 quid.
And then spend many times this on powder coating and new bits :facepalm: Nobody sane would do this :facepalm:
You don't see many, and I had no idea what I brought first time around. Fingers crossed you'll just happen across something that you like...
Thanks, I recon this is going to be my new commuter. The UN-BB on my bear valley is starting to fail so I'm going to have to get it built up - don't need two old marins in bits on the kitchen table

Re:
A little bit of progress made on the frame, I'm really liking the combo of slate grey and Florescent yellow in powder coat.
unfortunately the powder coater didn't mask the canti bosses up. That's on me - as it's not his speciality to powder coat bike frames and I didn't bring it to his attention. Fortunately he did plug the bolt holes, and mask bottom bracket and headset.
Bit of scratching away with a stanley knife and some and wet and dry. Man this powder coating is tough!

This is cool. I picked up a 91ish Miyata Triplecross a few years back and built it up as a budget gravel bike. Now its my summer commuter. I agree with the other poster who said they think of these as the original 29'ers. I'm pretty happy with mine although I'd like to tweak a few bits on it.
