Thanks Jim! Without your help I wouldn't have the original seat!

After much time, I have finally had the opportunity to take my Marin out to the trails. For my birthday, my cousin and I headed out with our vintage Marins to see what they could handle.

I was EXTREMELY pleased with this bike on the trails. It out accelerates, corners, climbs, and just flat out destroys my full suspension! The smile factor is the best part. I have only been riding around town, so I was quite eager to get it dirty.

Here are a few trail pics, and included is my cousins Eldridge Grade…

I have since added blue chain ring bolts, blue spoke nipples, and a KORE stem.

Thanks to Jim for the fork/original seat and Gil for the decals!
