Hi, i leave in France (Breizh) and i want to know if you could to post bottle cage? and at what price? Thank you.

hello This is my second Marin (the other a Bear Valley 97 on this forum), I bought this Bobcat in 1994. It is unfortunate that Marin bikes are no longer distributed in France.

Hello everyone This is my Bear Valley finished. I am very happy with this bike, the SLX group works well, the Recon SL is effective and light, the frame is very comfortable. It is not like the original but what do you think of this bike?

I'm sorry I do not know the different techniques stickers, I think you should seek information from Gil_m because it was he who made me.

Hello, I did not use primer because Hammerite can be applied directly on steel. I also think that the work of an amateur, to spray in a spray booth craft is not comparable with the work of a professional. But the resistance of the Hammerite is very good. I used it a few years to repaint a...

I removed the masking today to see the result. I think it makes good. Now, patience, it takes a few days to dry completely before installing equipment.

Thank you for your welcome, This is not the first frame that I repainted but the rest were cheap bikes, while Marin has sentimental value for me. I bought my first Marin in 1994, a bobcat (top end) I abused off-road but it is always clean and has no cracks. These are good frame chromo...
