con't

but I always had my eye out for a slightly nicer 531 frame that I could put fenders on and I found this Mairag


A Marin Treviso fell into my lap and I sold my Marinoni and rebuilt the treviso with sram red, I was doing tris and doing a lot of group rides


than I found a 2002 Marin Treviso on ebay and swapped the parts over for a lighter/stiffer build with 1-1/8" (yes that is steel)


Did I mention that at some point in there I started riding boards


And I got back into mountain biking, first on a Giant trance and Now an Anthem 29er


I also experimented with an old mtb turned into a basket bike


The vintage bug never left and I had to do something more exotic


I also built bikes for my girlfriend... a guerciotti SS, a GIOS professional with all 1st gen chorus. The list goes on.

I forayed into cyclocross too and used this bike for winter training a lot. I may have put more miles on this frame than any other

Can't find photo of my 2004 Redline conquest pro with Sram Rival

Also wanted a long distance relaxed bike so built this since sold


Up next:
new beater fixed gear

turn the mairag into a fendered road bike

Build up a Norco CCX with disc brakes for training and gravel grinding with disc 28 spoke wheels
