Picking up Monday, any advice on this would be appreciated. Is there anything I should be aware of ?

Nice project! First thing to do is strip it all down and clean up the frame. I find a degreaser like Elbow Grease (available at B&M) and a green scourer works well with zolatone. Then build it back up with the original bits.

You make it sound quite easy! I have never worked on zolatone so could be interesting.

Hi,
Picked it up today and there is quite a bit of rust poking through. The wheels are unbelievably true. Most of the parts are there with a few extra gear pods. It looks like a bigger project than anticipated. I am going to need a bigger shed!

All done! I popped a pic on show us your Marin's but seeing as this is where I found out about it I thought I would pop a few pics here.
