The family grows: Marin Team Titanium '97

[Obi-Juan]

I didn't want to go on vacation without adjusting the measurements and testing it. I'll make the final wheels later.
So I put on some tires, pedals, and off I went.

It has a very high bottom bracket. Wow, that feels weird, I'll have to get used to it. The saddle is actually a board, stiffer than my Saevid, but I don't think it'll be a problem adjusting, although keeping it straight is tricky.
As for the rest, it was a piece of cake to get the measurements right. I set the stem the wrong way around from how I usually use it, because with that high bottom bracket, it felt like I was riding a goat.

By the way, I pulled the red Michelin Wildgripper Hot tires in 2.1 out of the drawer for another project, but wow! I love how they look with the blue and yellow Spox tires.
Maybe I'll put them on the Zaskar with the Betsy, they give a touch of the American flag (I guess I'd be really lucky to find some blue Spox tires with white spokes).
Well, I'll think about it this summer. Maybe I'm just a bit tacky and I'll forget tomorrow, but today I love it.

I love a 1997 Marin: I have three. That looks fun. Pure indulgence and it’s working.

Awesome
I think I'm just a 1st-grade beginner Padawan.


I really consider myself lucky to have found a unit in good condition and in my size. I'm missing some details (decals, etc.), but there's no rush; it's slowly being finished.
