So after the last couple of months of difficulties it's safe to say I was more than happy when a large box arrived at my front door because I knew exactly what was in it. Within 5 minutes the box had been ripped open and this was sat on my sofa.
A 1992 (I think) Pine mountain in very good condition for a 25 year old bike. Now I've been staring for hours on end at the 1992 Marin catalogue and I would absolutely love to build a catalogue spec bike but alas, finances wouldn't allow me to buy the parts needed. This is going to be a mix of parts bin special (what I've got left over from my community group) and anything I can find cheap. I've managed to source a lot of parts (only a measly 200gs spec but that's all I have lying around and lets face it, I can't afford the deore xt it came with) but I'm sure a lot of people will agree, it's not what's on the bike that counts as long as you still enjoy it.
It's going to be a slow progress build, getting parts gradually but it will just make the finish worth it even more.
I've managed to find a nice shimano crankset, just need to try and get my head around this chainline thingimajig to work out what bottom bracket length I need.
