What a great job on the Marlin bicycle it turned out beautiful I would’ve taken it out for a ride. I believe in making older mountain bikes into something that people can spend some money on and have a great bike. Keep up the great work and stay safe out there.

I’ve got that Mach 5 fork in bits too 😅 it came on an Orange P7 frame that I wayyyyy overpaid for. What made it worse is the fork was seized solid. I got it apart only to find someone has already been in there and a few of the parts are missing (seals and lower elastomers). Fun. Bike polished up nicely though!

Those Manitou Mach forks, I will forever hate, I had a set fail and cause me a bad facial injury and nearly bit my tongue off, I stupidly sent them off to Manitou to get tested and they said they were fine and sent me a new set, few weeks later, one of the problems that caused my accident (plastic top cap snapping and obviously stantions slipping from the crown) happened again, so I threw them in the bin.

For 96’ the Marin catalog lists them as Marin Lite Brakes if I am remembering it correctly so they were the house brand brakes. Cool looking and work well but a a little too adjustable 😁
@remcovandermeulen32058 ай бұрын
Marin's are great bikes and always easy recognisable. Overhere, back in the day the steel framed Marin's were higher thought of than the alloy one's like this Nail Trail. That fork is/was certainly not original. (and total rubisch) If I remember correctly this bike came with a rigid fork.
