1996 Marin Ultimate Titanium

[90's Ninja]

I ride DMR V8's with Adidas 5Ten shoes and the grip is insanely good. The DMR's have a nice profile as well. If you want to go more bling, less grip with a retro look then the SimWorks Bubbly or Tiny Bubbly is a really nice pedal that I use on my ATB.

Went for the DMR Vault Silver in the end.

Right choice. Thanks.

Solid choice, they'll look ace and are really nice pedals to ride

 

[OldFatTi]

Very nice.

Serial format and stays suggest it is a TST frame

Yep and the stay-ends a la Kona Hei Hei/King Kahuna.

Sandvik/Ti Sports/TST made superb frames

Any pics of the bike at this stage?

Nothing further. It’s a box of bits at the moment.

Plus I want to put a king titanium cage on so even the little bit I’ve done I want to undo.

For a slow build, the parts are coming along nicely. My idea of a slow build is measured in years, and multiples thereof

Looks fab and can’t wait to see it finished.

 

[Matttymm]

Ha. Sometimes it just snaps into place. Still tinkering with a few parts.

I don’t have the patience to wait that long to finish a build. I always felt my Xmas presents Xmas eve too.

Some advice please gents;

Picked this limited edition flite titanium up.

Not retro in terms of age but super rare.

This or the Gel ?

If you use the red flite,
you might need to "ti" () it in with red elsewhere on the bike.
This more neutral colour saddle could match up nicely with grips without overwhelming the pure metal polished ti/ polished aluminium look.

The red flite is more age- appropriate obvs.
