Marin Team Titanium, Stumpjumper Comp: obsolete 90’s toss and a Stayer

Yes please! I think the geometry is almost identical on all the early-mid 90's Marin frames, would be lovely to see what you've done with yours.

Got the original rigid forks . Bit of xtr, bit of Thompson . Not a patch on this build , more what I had around . Love these bikes . Will follow up when I get hold of it as in storage .

This looks great. I've got an old Ti hardtail which I was thinking about doing something similar with, but the guys at Vernon Barker, who are very local to me, said it's now going to be a 4 week wait for any Ti work!

I’d send it to Limit Fab if I were you!

Which frame is it?

damn, that looks mental(ly good), how wide is it?

It's 825mm wide: https://whiskyparts.co/handlebars/milhouse-bar

Got one from the first batch that just landed in the UK on a whim as a late birthday present from myself to myself...

Dropped the hubs & rims off at Stayer to be built up.

Got a slow drip of obnoxious purple/blue ano nuggets coming to stop me getting bored...

chain ring is so hot

I’m basically building a bike around it.

Nice - can’t wait to see final build!

im here for this. I was thinking the bore cap on your caliper looks a bit too gold ...

Ha! Embarrassingly, this was one of the first things I looked for. Sadly, it appears that Hope haven't made caps for my 2004 Mono Minis for ages and the only ones I can find are NOS black/silver...

oh no! this is absolutely tragic.

Get them anodised yourself?
Or is that a bridge too far, lol,

Just got the finished wheels back from Stayer; CK ISO hubs, Stans Arch rims, Sapim CX-Ray spokes, Rat Trap Pass Extralights set up tubeless with purple ano valves.

These were the last piece of the puzzle, gonna start building this sukka tomorrow.

gonna start building this sukka tomorrow.

It's only 9pm?! Fair play for having the patience!

Holy mowgli this is gonna win the internet. Great work man

Ha!

I’m zonked from driving for 6 hours straight back home from Manchester and don’t trust myself with a Wera right now or I’d already be covered in lube!

I haven't put a precious bike together in a LONG time. I realised that 9pm isn't prime "being careful as fuck" time!

So squidge & chonkkeh.

Wheelset weight = 1615 grams. Not bad for brass nipples and 64 spokes.
