Marin team marin 1993 "Arturo rs edition"

Red paint primer, then white colour for next better paiting of red phosphorescent, typical of eldridge grade model

The 3 models i will inspirate are those.

I will paint stays like an eldridge grade, and ending of top&headset.. tube like those 2 models.

The reason of that colour is only because in painting store was the only one phosphorescent colour, and my intention is only to anyone who see that bike can guess is a marin, a 90,as marin. I will paint my "personal" way too, but not too diferent of 90,as marin.

I like the oem colour of that frame(1993), but is only a matter of nostalgia the reason for the selected colour&way of painting.

Some progress:
