After being woefully rubbish, at doing any build threads, they're like busses and here come two at once!
First up, as recently acquired from MrOX, via here, the not. So common,
Team Marin, built circa '91 with a dedicated 1" 1/4 headtube and geometry, to accommodate the Browning front suspension unit.
*** Much more detail and useful information on these Marins, can be found on boy"O"boy's Pine Mountain thread, link to, as below.***

As the beast arrived, packed with great care by MrOX, when I talked in to sending, despite being for collection only! Thanks again chap
Most groupset parts, we assume are original, XT 730/732 hub, Araya rimmed wheels, not shown but here too.
Jobs list to begin, remove stuck seatpost, bottom bracket, drink tea...
I'd like to keep as original as reasonably possible, so beginning with a blast from the hairdryer to heat bots, tubes and BB after liberal plusgas!
Well, it's not much use for my heeeed?!!
To be continued....
