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

Build party tonight?

Ah, would be so swell to build with you but my daughter's round tonight.

Maybe tomorrow early eve?

Did some stuff.

11T cog is a fraction too close to the dropout; may have to give the lock ring some more welly or lock out 11th gear...

Oof so nice.

My crest mk3 came in ... whee

Where did you source your tyres? Can’t find them for less that a million squids

Did you get them from Superstar’s secret stash?

I got the Rat Traps from justpedal.nl, they’re pretty much the same price everywhere.

Slightly less potatocam snap...

Gotta fill & bleed the rear brake but almost done.

This is class

Wowee this is 99.9% awesome

@Retro_bastard @gdkhgd Thanks!

Gotta work out rear hose routing; along seatstay via brake boss blanking guide or along chainstay, under BB and up the down tube via stick-on guides...

What tabs are you using? I've got my dropper post hose under the bb and downtube and it rattles using the bbb stick on tabs so I'm trying to find some that i can thread a cable tie through to get a tighter fit. The rattle may bother you more than me as the hose will be tinging against the titanium as mine is fat carbon with frame protection which helps quieten things down. And i deducted you the .1% for using white foam grips 😉

The grips are grey, looked bleached by the morning sun in that photo. I’ve got a thing against black grips on black bars for some reason...

I’ve got a set of Jagwire adhesive hose guides but they probably come from the same factory as all the others. I usually put self-amalgamating tape around the hose at attachment and mid-points to avoid rub/rattle.

Top tip on the cables if you can't make the clip smaller make the cable thicker 🤦🏻‍♂️ I'll do that. And your forgiven on the grips. Awesome build. Gold chain and a lairy anodized bottle cage to complete ?

Toight but massaged the cassette enough to not rub.

Found a matching ‘pewter’ lockring that no one will ever see for full ponce level...

Climbing to and back-pedalling in big cog. So close now!

I really like this. Those hubs are lovey and the bars are a great choice.

This is cool. I have an old Marin Eldrige Grade, it rides great. Think you’ll enjoy this!

Hoses routed, gonna take it for a spin after work tasks.

Routed rear hose under chainstay and up the down tube, will see how the sticky pad guides work out.

HONK!

will see how the sticky pad guides work out.

The ones I used needed a 'cure' time, I stuck them down and then later bumped it and pushed it on the wonk. Now they're stuck fast off center

Yeah, they were a bit iffy when applying last night but seem solid now.

Will see what happens after a blitz through Epping...

Give us a proper side on shot!
