1993 Marin Pine Mountain...... slightly different this one!

[nporternz]

So I got a 1993 frame for a very reasonable amount and when it arrived it had a couple of issues.

The stem was stuck solid and lots of the bolts were rusted into their respective tubes -surprisingly the Bottom Bracket came out with minimal fuss!

Anyway, some soaking in WD40 penetrating oil and most of the bolts came out - then the stem came out with some soaking and a large hammer!!

The rust spots looked bad but were very superficial

Some photos before I reveal what has happened since!
