Hi auchencrow, I saw from your posts you own (or owned) a 1995 Marin Pine Mountain. I do as well, what a solid and light bike!

I unfortunately have not reached enough posts to send you a PM, so maybe you'll find this here...


Have you been able to find any good-matching touch-up paint for the frame? Mine's starting to rust in a couple of places where the paint's been chipped or scratched. Marin doesn't offer any (for any of their bikes), so I'm looking at the secondary market. If you've had any success, please let me know! I'm getting antsy about it with the upcoming winter just ahead and don't want to resort to (for money and nostalgic reasons) powdercoating.

Oh, almost forgot...bottom bracket. Do you know the manufacturer and correct removal tools?


Thanks!
