@@letour32rr No, it was Midtown Bicycles. A quick google search said they are no longer around. We sold Marin, Fuji, Caloi, and Trek, if i remember correctly.
Beautiful bike, fantastic job on your part. I picked up a 95 Nail Trail for £40 in the UK 🇬🇧 It was totally trashed but after nearly a year I bought it back to its former glory 👌🏻
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 wanted to take it out and almost did. My timeline was short. I finished it around 10:30pm Thursday night and had planned to have it dropped off Friday afternoon.
That is a coincidence! I just bought and restored a 1995 Nail Trail and I love the chrome look of it. Mine came with STX RC cranks which is stunning on this bike.
At the end of the 90s I had a Cannondale all STX RC. A magnificent group with RockShox Quadra 10 fork. You are close to 200 thousand subscribers. Congratulations on your excellent work!
I know you have limited time and budget one the builds for the Bicycle Collective. But replacing those red/yellow Manitou stickers on the fork with blue/white ones would have been the icing on the cake. Anyway great to see another abandoned bike rebuild and ready for someone to enjoy.
I always loved the Shimano STX crankset look so when I spotted a bike with it, in my case a 1994 Raleigh USA MT400 in fair price, I bought it right away. Regards from Argentina.
Wow. Nice job. I'll be moving to Ocala, FL from Miami very soon and I want to start biking when I'm settled in. Definitely going to consider a restored bicycle. I've subbed to your channel.
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!
That came out really nice. ❤ what a difference you have made.👍👍👍😀 you are so lucky to have the bike collective for sourcing those used parts - getting wheels around me is virtually impossible; especially 26" rims that aren't totally trashed.
I love this channel and am always happy when you upload a new video.Absolutely impressive what you can achieve with love and dedication to the detail. The restoration was really very well done. I would really like this bike. I send you and your family Happy Pentecost and greetings from Germany. 👍🚴♀😄
These group sets are my best , ı want to ask one , ı have remembered these group sets must be ıg chain system , have you used ıg chain when you replaced it or hg chain ?
You should get an ultrasonic cleaner. Not expensive and really good for jobs like this. I have a 97 Marin Mount Vision with the same lovely aluminium, superb quality.
I always left my steerer tube an inch too high just in case I sold the fork. I never did sell one but that option was available. Do you know who made those brakes or was it a Marin brand?
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 😁
Great video! As for the shifters, I always preferred grip shift to the Shimano trigger shifters... They were lighter, cheaper, simpler and allowed you to grab three or four gears at a time whether upshifting or down shifting.
@@one_flew_over_the_cuckoos_nest you still did not refute my claim, which is: they are lighter, cheaper & simpler. So again, tell me which part is nonsense. You can't because I'm right.
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.
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.
In the case of this bike I returned them, with the bike, to the Salt Lake Bicycle Collective. Otherwise I hang on to most for spare parts or repairs but I do regularly offload parts I don’t think I’ll use to the Collective also.
Back in 1996, I worked at a shop in Memphis that sold Marin. These bikes are absolutely stunning in person.
100% You’d walk up to one in the shop and do the 1 finger lift! 😂
Did you work at the Memphis Bicycle Company? The old Schwinn shop?

You started with a wreck and ended up with a bike somebody will be really pleased with, good job 👍🏻.

Man this video is taking me down memory lane. I had a fully rigid 96 blue diamondback sorrento and put the exact same Manitou fork on it!
Those 90's Marin bikes were some of the best of their era. I still miss my 1995 Marin Pine Mountain. Just beautifully-made, great-riding bikes.

Great bike! Keep blessing us!
Ive still got a 1994 Indian Fire Trail that ive just cleaned & put new decals on, still my favourite bike & still looks stunning 😊

I haven't been here for a long time. But your renovations are fascinating.
I am always surprised just how well these bikes bounce back. Great job 👍
From wreckage to bling, well done. I hope, you go on saving these classics😎
From trash to treasure. That bike ended up looking sharp!
That came out really nice. ❤ what a difference you have made.👍👍👍😀 you are so lucky to have the bike collective for sourcing those used parts - getting wheels around me is virtually impossible; especially 26" rims that aren't totally trashed.
wow ive got a 95 CrMo bobcat but this here is a stunner, well done sir
That Marin looks way better now. Lovely restoration.👍 Thanks for another brilliant video.

I like that you're not always painting these rebuilds/restorations, now 🙂
Very beautiful bike.
Great video, i enjoyed it very much.
Cheers from Germany
I was in 1990bthe happy owner of a brand new Marin Indian Fire Trail, quite similar to this model. I enjoyed the video.
Great restoration !
Bravo !!
Wow! I had one of frames. It cracked and split at the top of the seat stays. Super light! Also might of had that STX crankset too🤣

Great build , but I'm curious af how long that KMC Z chain will last on the STX ... hopefully no one gets hurt !
This is so beautifull i want it !

Nonsense.
@@one_flew_over_the_cuckoos_nest which part is nonsense..... Lighter, cheaper or simpler?
@@dannyjamison8337 All of it, gripshifts are for old people on city bikes!

@@dannyjamison8337 Nope.
Came out nice!
You can also use your cable cutter to crimp the cable end.
Such a beautiful bike.
our bike
our time
our place
thank you!
Good job as always you did.
Good stuff! I had that fork (trashed one) on my bike!
Well done!
Cool video 😄👍 thanks to this video I realized which bike my nameless one might have been copied from 😁

Beautiful.
As always looks good.
Sei sempre il numero 1
Un altra bici l hai fatta resciuscitare 😎😎🤙🤙🤙👋👋👋
How did you get that polished effect ?
I like these videos when there is talking.
100% agree. Especially when he goes into a bit of history on the model and/or brand
Love your content, which vinyl cutter do you use?
Nice job.
200k incoming 🚨🚨🚨
How sick is that stx hardware though
I restored a 1995 indian fire trail which was in about the same state as this.
Good Job 💪😉
How do you dispose of all the unusable junk parts?
In the case of this bike I returned them, with the bike, to the Salt Lake Bicycle Collective. Otherwise I hang on to most for spare parts or repairs but I do regularly offload parts I don’t think I’ll use to the Collective also.
Who would trash such a beautiful bike? Crazy!
Would you have any vintage gt mtb frames our Claude buttler
Could you tell me the name of the brakes on this bike?
They are Marin in-house branded brakes
@@oldshovel I found it, Marin Lite Cantilever Brakes . Thank you. Greetings from Poland
So this 27 min video took how long to actually complete?
Nice build i almost skipped
Could i get an old marin indian fire trail or smt like that and put newer parts like an rst air fork mavic wheels 1x10 drivetrain
Shiny!
Я люблю на це дивитись
Дуже гарне відео
Super vudeo
Back wheel still looks like it need to be trued!
those handle bar grab bars were a bad idea
How much?
Tops
It's a '95.
за 28 лет алюминий должен был уже треснуть.. странно)
This bike was so trashed you didn't bother giving the video any narration lol.
Lol I just feel right that way.
Awesome build .
