Appreciate that sir

Thank you

Much better!

DA cables, or Performance Lifeline. Absolutely no point in anything in between.

Jealous of the electric assist on your Bullitt! Would be handy for shifting the 100kg+ of files I have to get across town every morning. I find our work Bullitts surprisingly fast even without assist when they're not over loaded though.

Cheers man...

How can I remove octalink cranks that have lost the retaining ring? Find a new ring?

use this:

Only have a square taper crank puller, will take a trip to the lbs. Cheers

and it doesn't fit?

Just ordered a 2018 day one, wish they still did this colour!

Thanks!

No, the tip is too small. All good though I bought one that fits, crank is off!

Looking forward with that and dont forget to update us,

Regarding the paint its kinda strange but ill tell yah the area with deeper orange colour is the stock paint which is the previous owner put a tape and the lighter colour is effect of sunlight etc as he used for about 6years (thats long isnt) frame still true when i inspect it

do you mean "columbus foco"?
it's columbus Nemo

I rode "her" today for the first time and to be honest it felt a bit different from my other scapin. Hey Gaston, you are, for sure, someone who knows columbus Nemo very well. Do you think it was only my impression or the frames are a bit different? This "new" one says "columbus NEMO" and the other scapin says "columbus NEMO custom". This "new" one seamed less stiff and maybe more comfortable. Well, maybe it was only my impression but...

downtube looks exactly like the one in my Foco frame though, @noca & @Gaston - I'm confused!

my "old" Scapin says this "columbus NEMO "custom""
the shape of the downtube seems the same

I used a coin underneath the end. Can't remember which, i think it was like 5p or 1p was just the right size.

I hesitated and compared to the painting I took it for Foco:)
I already had 5 nemo and I still have 4 <3

90s MTB tart-up with stuff of out the parts-bin.
1994 Marin Bear Valley Special Edition - now with a mix of low mileage 90s components, cheapo risers and fatter tyres. Guards need flaps.

Are those the dead cheap guards from eBay? Looks like you've done a significantly better job of fitting them than I did...

love those Marin frames, nice rides mate

No they are "Phillips" brand, a range of components sold here in NZ in most bike shops. Not budget but not flash either. Not as well made as SKS but not far off, same construction. Just a bit short. The frame's rear chain stay and seat stay bridges are both drilled and threaded so you can get a neat fix point without the need for the clips.

Oi, I have the same frame haha! Your build is ruddy awesome.
What does the sticker on the fork say, if I may ask? Mine's half scratched, couldn't see the number below Rockstar.
