I made this rubbish purchase a couple of years ago of a 1992 Marin Pine Mountain, seduced by the colour scheme and presence of some old XT. Paid good money thinking it would scrub up but it was rotten to the core. Little was was usable, seatpost seized and even the mechs were too far gone.
But it was my size and it’s been gnawing away at me so I,ve started pouring the money in to resurrect it when it would be cheaper to buy something better. Paint guy has filled rust holes and done his work. Decals on their way from Gil, wheels and crankset winging in from someone on here.
So I need to consider the details. Can you still buy the old heavy duty (2mm?) cable or is it a case of resurrecting the old stuff?
Cheers
