With the darker days looming,its time for a new project to keep me occupied. I was lucky to see this frameset put up in the auction ads on here so thought i'd have a look....What came up was a 1990/1 Marin team titanium and at a very good price too. After scrolling through the pics i then realised that it actually belonged to a cycling friend of mine i've known for years(and brother-in-law to dame sarah storey!)
I sent him a msg asking about the frame,then was told if i wanted it he'd do a deal and knock a bit off for me....so later that week i went around for a catch up and collect
This is how i picked it up,but i want to do something different with it.
Another good friend of mine,some might know him...Paul Lasenby...rode one of these to a bronze medal at the 1991 worlds. Ive been in touch with him regards the bike,so will try and base the build on the bike he rode. He's super excited to help with pics and to see the final result.
So far i've managed to secure a pair of mk1 rc30's which included the mavic headset,plus a set of Xt m734 low pro cantis in black. Also,a marin lite stem with lower rise in black. The stem and forks will get painted at some point
