In this video: I recently picked up this 1989 Marin Palisades. It had been owned since new by the same person and had clearly been well used but also maintained! I wanted to give it a Spray.Bike restoration with a modern twist.

There's something about these old pre-suspension 26" mountain bikes that just looks "right" to my eyes. I agree about using a threadless stem adapter. It just wouldn't have looked right. Only change I'd make it using riser bars (but that is because I'm old lol)

You can get thread-less stem adapters that have a sharper angle between the two diameters, so less of it sticks out. It doesn’t matter anyway because that Girvin stem looks really good.

Great restoration and retro paint scheme👍. I was curious to know, with some of the older late 80s and early 90s MTB frames, is it possible that the frame and forks can accommodate 27.5 wheels or is the spacing a bit to tight for circumference height? I'm guessing hub width on a 27.5 wheel would be ok to slot straight in or am I wrong? 🤔

Alternative way for the stem adapters is using the lower part only cut the the upper parts and use am adaptor shim, it looks good on slam position. Though some case you might want to re-thread the long stem screw.

@MonkeyShred 3 жыл бұрын

That might be a bit dodgy if the stem isn't properly inserted or the adapter isn't in to the fork enough. I've took in bikes before where the stem was run WAY too high and it damaged the fork.

@@MonkeyShred There's stem adapter that isn't in tapered shape, so you can really slam the stem. Also if the adapter long enough you can put spacers between the stem and the headset, kinda mimicking the ahead stem system in case you need higher cockpit setup.

Came out nice. Shouldn't have spent that much time on a Walmart level bike. But I reckon a real bike would never have been left out in the rain for decades.

Walmart level 😂 Pretty sure a Marin is well about a Walmart level bike but thanks! It was stored in a barn BTW - it's just been used a lot of the last 30 years. Testiment to the build quality back then.

@@MonkeyShred Well it sure came out nice. Now you have endless hours invested in a $300 commuter bike.The Walmart dig was just a point of reference comparing the quality of entry level bike shop brands to department store brands .Now if you had put that effort into a Marin with a hand made American frame and adorned it with quality vintage components, you would end up with something collectable and even enjoyable to ride in the dirt. Bicycles are a lot like guitars. Dolling up a $300 Stratocaster serves no purpose. It might look pretty, but there is a reason Fender and Marin produce and sell ten different levels of product.Cheers.
