1996 marin muirwoods steel

[hurin76]

recently rescued from another retrobiker for a fiver ..came with seized stem and seat post.

I hacksawed out the stem and whacked it through with a bar. The seat post was smashed out with a hammer..now I have to do something with it...maybe powdercoat it? or just use spare parts that i have lying around..which has begun with a basic 1.1/8 headset and a syncros stem

Like these guys said

As above in all cases

Looks ace, brute force and bargain bike bits! Brilliant

We should have a BBOTM competition!
