t0-ster's stable

I'm sure you've answered this already but what bars are these? Amazing bike by the way!

Thanks! Its the On-One OG bar with some random old 90's mtb bar ends and Control Tech bar extenders for some extra width :)

Thanks!

Did I spy a shiny new custom bike part on your Instagram story earlier?

You sure did! Pictures coming..

I love the feeling of dialling in a build, slowly improving little bits at a time.

New Stayer/Hulsroy stem is perf.
New 2.25"thunder butt and 2.35" rock razor combo is rad.

Waltly Ti seatpost on the way.
Would love to build up my silver White Industries M16 hubs on 650b velocity blunt rims. kinda over the blue hubs.

This machine keeps getting better and better. :)

Congrats! Set the freedom countdown clock to 18 years ;)

Congratulations!
Ti frame?

The best bit of news, congratulations!

Haha, thanks guys.

@vp1337 Nope, the welds on Ti look a lot tighter and flatter, but almost as light as some titanium frames!

Love the look of this though. I guess its just a clear coat? Or is there some other coat on there since there aren't any heat stains
@Hulsroy maybe?

One thing's for sure, Marin's craftsmanship was bloody incredible in the 90's.

Congratulations on your fatherhood.
Frame could be nickel plated

Most of their frames are chromoly steel. Mostly Tange if I remember correctly. I have had quite a few and built them for friends.
Lovely workmanship and stylish paint for the most part.

Thank you.
Yea thats more in the direction i was thinking too

Tillykke.
Now get some sleep!

Saw this on eBay, reminded me of your build. Could turn out similar?

Oops just saw this!

Rad! well, sort of similar i guess. But pretty much only the frame and fork will be similar haha

Exciting things in these boxes.

top box - something polished silver and wide
bottom box - something anodized blue and loud

Such a beauty this one. Any chance you can remember what BB length / crankset (90s deore LX?) / chainring this is ?

Thanks! I always get excited to ride it again when visiting my parents. I don't know the bb length unfortunately, but im guessing pretty short as i could run the chainring on the outer position and still have a good chainline on the big sprocket. You're right about the cranks, and chainring is a superstar components narrow wide 40t i think

I have a Tequesta about the same age and the BB is 73mm.
