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

Too good!!

Where did you source the seat post bolt, if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks!

Seat post binder is a Svelte Odyssey from the mid-90’s.

Ah was wondering if you managed to find a seller who has them?

Not in particular, just scouring Retrobike/auctions.

one of the rare times bullmoose bars look well suited to a bike, v well done

colour on that is so nice

Fanx, means a lot.

The colour is impossible to photograph, matte metallic pearl. Very advanced for 1990.

New page fail, have one of the bullmoose with my shadow serpent claw:

Needs wider bars. Gonna try these wanker Nittos with a silver stem:

Will be interesting! How wide are these 750mm?

Yep, these are 750mm.

I’ve got so used to the 825mm bars on the Marin that the bullmoose now feel like holding a chopstick.

This was my exact worry coming from the nitto for shred I have on my fixed to the Bullmoose! Do love the rise in these ones you’re swapping out for.

I have a pair of Nitto Bullmoose i am going to extend for myself. Any compentent framebuilder local to you should be able turn some extensions and weld them on.

Good shout.

Gonna try the Nitto risers first & see how it goes.

Christ you're gonna leave that locked up?! You're brave, it looks amazing. Wanker nittos will be sweet - want me some of those.

To be honest, I’m lucky enough to be able to take my bike inside when I get to most places I work at.

Did a few laps of Hollow Ponds for lunch, what a wanker.

Depends what lines you took

Crushed up Pregnacare tablets were all I had to hand tbh.

OK, one more with #cuntfilter for posterity before this gets dadded-out hard.

Looking super good, can’t wait to see it pimped out with accessories

Rad AF!

Absolute stunner, love every bit of it!

Thanks!

Not getting on with the new bars. They don’t feel much wider, far less backsweep than the bullmoose, and I had to use a short stem to get the same reach so the setup looks a bit funky.

Ack, sorry the bars didn’t work out [proceeds to goalhang in Classifieds].
Loving the pics though ^

When I unbuilt my Bear Valley SE and took all the dadbiek commuting extras off it, I remembered how /RAD/ I thought it was in the first place. So the next iteration of that frame will stick to just what it needs to work and nothing else.

Looks so good but can see why they don’t work, how did you find the handling with the shorter stem?

definitely a lot more corner shop lock up than Waitrose chariot with that bar and stem, both look good however.

will you source higher rise/ swept ones or just stick it out with the bull moose?

[proceeds to goalhang in Classifieds].

this really tickled me for some reason, hehe!

I'll jump off the fence, definitely better with the bullmoose. maybe its the silver stem/black bars/clear grips that's killing the vibe for me? looks aside if it don't feel right, that's that.
