Tiny project bike

[t wild]

Picked this up today.

Needs a fair bit of work and there's some rust coming through but it is completely original bar the derailleur and for a small bike it weighs a ton.
I've wanted a zolatone marin for 26 years since a local guy had one when I was 11.

Hope the pics work this time

hi mr wild

not bad there son, at least you got what you were looking for and the pics work fine. with regards to your last pm to me, i will be in manchester in january at the velodrome cycle jumble where i have had a selling stall there the last three years...

not sure of the date yet but if its close enough to you get yourself down there, there are always plenty bargains on my stall for retro bikers

I wanted to go down last time but I wasn't well but yeah I'll be there next time. Plan for now is find somewhere to put it while I get a less interesting and more modern project out of the way then begin the build on this. Current bike count at 7 after I bought another tonight. And nowhere to put them. I had to resort to stashing one at my brothers to make room for the Marin. Now I have a modern trek to hide somewhere till it runs then it's going. It takes over your life this bike building lark
