Here's my 92 Marin Team Issue saved from the dump. All the kit on it was on it when it was rescued, except for the stem, levers/shifters, tyres, post and saddle.

It had Machine Tech levers on it and SRAM SRT800 gripshift,but I sold the levers to buy a pair of Shimano M900 shifter levers and new disk pads. The tyres are Marin Lite off my old Eldridge Grade. The stem was an awful I-beam.

I had to rebuild and repaint the Mag21s.

Someone has added terrible cable guides (two of which appear to face the wrong direction!). I'm going to ride it a while and if I really like it I'll cut off the extra guides and get it powdercoated as the nickel plating is not in the best condition. I'm a bit nervous about trying to cut/grind the rear brake bosses off in case I damage the stays.

It's not the most stylish, or tasteful with the mix of blue, purple and red, but I like it, except perhaps for the red bar & pedals, and best of all it's not cost me a penny.

Just needs grips and some parts that the good people at Hope are sending me and it should be rideable again.

Blimey!!! Wish my dump had CookBros cranks never mind the rest of the bike, just get crappy Apollos and no name junk at mine
 
What a save!!!

How do you go about taking things from the dump? They got mad at me last time I saw an old frame and tried to take it.
