    The ugliest Marin alive

    Looks like something the late Sheldon Brown would commute on. Macbook and Kodak pocket camera in rear bag - protected from the elements by a big fender (oh I meant mudguard), multiple handlebar positions etc.

    Ken Taylor's Passing 06/10/2025

    That's sad news indeed. Without sounding rude I thought all 3 of the Taylor brothers passed away some years ago. Ken must of had a good innings. Who would of thought some of the best frames ever made were built in a scruffy factory unit on an industrial estate in Stockton-on-Tees. The...

    What's the late 90s steel frame of choice?

    Zeus (Spain) Marmolada 57cm

    Yeah, i wondered if the fork was not original. This one appears to have its original fork. For cleaning pitted/rust spots on forks, I find Vinegar, Lemon Juice and a pinch of bicarbonate of soda in a spray bottle works wonders with a scrunched up bit of tinfoil. An old wife's tale that works.
