I had a bargain impulse buy on the bay with the forks and seemed the best candidate for them. It has transformed the bike and looks even better in the flesh than the pic. You will see it at the SW ride
This is just my opinion, so don't take it to heart, but I think that Marins of this age look far better with black walled tyres, particularly the polished alloy ones.
Yea I would have put some blackwalls on but only have in slick flavour, the Tioga's were to hand as I needed some nobblies for the SW ride for my brother to ride it with. They will not be staying, , they dont look bad and feel they compliment the gold on the forks.
