Having just got hold of a 1996 Marin Team Titanium frame, all I can think about is brutally defiling it with a welder.
The frame is straight, dent-and-crack-free, and the perfect size. But it has long-since lost its decals, and been sprayed yellow then sanded back at some point in its life.
Given this, and the cute price paid, I have zero qualms about getting a disc tab welded on and building it up as a sub-10Kg rigid MTB/lolwagon for day trips and chucking around Epping.
Already picked up a pair of old Hope brakes and CK hubs, trying to work out the correct axle-to-crown length for a lightweight rigid fork (Pace RC31 or Taiwanese titanium).
