This one has taken a while, had a couple different parts mixes along the way. But I am very happy with it now, and only have a head tube badge and seat stay decals left to go. Close enough! Its a real sweet ride even without all full complement of logos!
When I bought the frame, I was told it was a Dean, but a quick look-up of the serial number made that out of the question, definitely a Marin. Luckily the price was not too bad, so still a decent deal (just not the steal I thought I was getting!). The previous owner had used it as a stealth commuter, so he had stripped the decals and even painted rust and patina on the frame to make it look more like a junker. Kinda nerdy cool...
A decent build with a nod to Canada:
