Picked it up last week exactly as pictured, haven't had time to change anything yet. My first 26er since being 12 years old. Big grins on the way home. Loving it. Bought originally as a lockable beater but is more fun than expected. NS rag+ is great but not been getting much use. Now I'm tempted to upgrade the Marin and keep it as a tourer, gravel, commuter everything kinda thing. Don't know if this idea will stick but will definitely have to address the front end situation. Headset extender has to go, and want to find a cheaper alt for velo orange klunker bars (80gbp) preferably in chrome.
almost ordered this Fairdale MX-4 Bars in chrome for 45 but they sold out and can only find them for 60 on ebay and they look a bit hmm cheap, but then
I found this guy in Indonesia (I think) https://www.instagram.com/p/CyZy2NQy0Kq - probably will order both bars he's got as can't imagine which one will feel better and also tempted on the forks... might as well...
Next up: do I keep 3x9 or splash on Stridsland or Medium thing, figure big cassette and more gears, new wheels, disc brake mount weld on the back, etc etc etc or just keep all 27 gears and chill hmm
Also does anyone know how to identify the year on those?
