Danke schön! Huntso... I would apreciate the oportunity of a copy of the English catalogue there's my bike in all it's glory. One thing different.. the handlebar stem. I forgot that. I swopped it for a shorter, silver one (the only one Marin could supply at the time) and mine doesn't have/...

looking good. Will it/ does it, see the trail? (do you know the paint details... manufacturer/colour/stock number, etc of the purple touch up that you used? I was lucky enough to find the original Marin touch up bottles that were supplied with my bike.. luck soon turned, as they are both...
