Greetings from Oil City, Pa!

Hi all! Currently riding a '90 Marin EG. Mainly stock, except replaced bars w/ Scott AT4s, and a new saddle. Mainly ride it on rail trails. Just had the BB re-worked yesterday. I am the original owner...for the past 27 years. Others have scoffed at its age, but I tell them "they don't make 'em like they used to."

Welcome to Bike Forums. Nothing wrong with older bikes. My 2001 Litespeed is still my favorite ride.
