Hi,
I have this team marin, not sure if it's a 91/92 model?
Anyway, I have been thinking of restoring it for commuter rides but the frame size is a little on the large side and I end up having to stretch a far bit, ending with backaches on longer rides.
Does anyone know this bike can be fitted with a quill adaptor so that I could use those modern stems / handlebars to reduce the reach from saddle to handlebar? I saw there are two types of adaptors: 1" to 1 1/8 " & 1 1/8" to 1 1/8" , any idea which is the one to get?
The RST front sus is a goner, half sunken in...will need to find appropriate fork to replace also..any suggestions?
Any advise is appreciated!
Cheers.
