If I'm not a Marin, what am I? A 1989 Ridgeback 602LX

Re: If I'm not a Marin, what am I?

What gave you the idea it might be a Marin in the first place?

It's likely to be an '80/'90 bike though I'd guess, going off the groupset, I doubt someone would transplant the entire groupset onto something else, so it's probably original to that frame.

The double eyelets on the fork are an interesting feature.

Erm... right now? Stop scratching my balls, get some strides on and go to work. Maybe a shower first.

Later, I'll fit the correct chainset and a nice Tioga T-Bone stem to the Ridgeback.

Aha! Good work. Is the T-Bone going purple or yellow?

 

[legrandefromage]

It's in its original black
