For my next project I've bought a 1991 Team Marin from eBay. Bizarrely it was advertised as a "Vintage Specialized" because "that was the make of pedals and saddle" :facepalm:
This is what they looked like when they were new.
And this is what it looked like when I bought it.
I've spent a few hours taking it to bits and there's been very few horrors. The seat post wasn't even stuck! Removing the bottom bracket was the most painful but I got there in the end.
More pictures and updates to follow.
