Hey guys, I built this 1986/7 Marin 'flying armchair' for slicing through traffic and running errands. It looked like crap, so I stripped it and powdercoated the frame and assorted parts, and then added the decals and striping. It's a blast to ride, but I keep thinking the front triangle looks unfinished, but can't decide exactly what it needs. My mates say to leave it alone, it looks fine as is. All the parts are original 'Mountain LX' stuff, everything works great, all I need for practicality purposes is a rear rack. The stripes aren't paint-they are vinyl decals that I custom cut and fit by hand. I need to clearcoat the whole deal when it's complete so they don't start to peel away. Any suggestions?
