Marin Bolinas - Late 80's/early 90's AcidHouse Superfreak!

Bling, definitely a statement bike, I like the early nineties acid house bright dayglo colours. Haven't heard of the hubs on the wheels, but look good if nothing else. Look forward to your build.

OK. So after a month of waiting, I finally got this baby back from the powder-coaters today. Here it is - not very yellow is it?

I know, I know but having spent the best part of two weeks trying to find somewhere that could match the neon with no success (apparently the pigments aren't very good for you) I stumbled across this finish at a little local firm in Totnes. It's chrome green. The more I look at it, the more I love it. I think it's gonna to look pretty funky with all the purple I've been accruing.

Hopefully I'll get a chance to apply the decals this weekend and should be taking it out for a burn in a couple of weeks.

Finally completed!!! It's only taken 5 months - about 4 months longer than I thought, but alas, just in time for the summer - when it eventually show's.

It's not perfect but I'm well happy with how it turned out. The only original stuff I kept is the frame, forks and stem. Only NOS on it is the Dia Compe 987's with PC700 levers and a few nuts and bolts. Pretty much everything else was sourced from here and the occasional visit to a well known auction site.

I'd like name drop the following for coming up with the goods:

Cheers Guys. Excellent service. Much obliged.

Took it for a quick blast round the houses today. It rides like an absolute dream. Looking forward to going round a few of the local trails.
