Re:
Finally got round to stripping this right back and giving it a decent de-grease. The Zolatone has come up really well with all dirt marks coming off. Most of the small patches where a bit of rust was showing have cleaned up well but I'm reluctant to go any further with the few bits left as I'm in danger of spoiling the Zolatone if I go more abrasive.
All the components have cleaned up and for once I took the (not pictured :facepalm: ) crankset fully apart to give it a deep clean. I have sourced replacement STI's, better front mech and having given up on finding the correct saddle may have scored a Rolls that will do so all that will remain will be to build back up after polishing. Build report to follow.

Like a good Marin, scrubbed up really well, early 90's Marin's just look the bizz.. you certainly got a good one, original paint job+decals, with the orange so vibrant.. stands out.. cracking bike!

Yes really like this build, very period, just how I like it! I follow the same train of thought as you, preferring original paint, decals and parts for most of it... I just prefer the overall look... but have learnt this gradually and try to achieve a restoration build to how it was bitd! which I appreciate isn't everyone cup of tea.. anyway a really nice build, look forward to the finished pictures
