When I got out of the Army in 1995, I rented a moving van and drove across the country from NC to AZ. The last trip I made in the van was to a bike shop where I picked up this exact bike. Dropped off the van, rode the Marin to my new apartment and a new life. I was car-free for the next 25 years. I've owned road bikes, mtb bikes, fixed-gear bikes, touring bikes. Worked as a mechanic at several shops and raced for a few teams. It all started with that Stinson.

Hybrid Dad bikes are under estimated...can be got on the cheap. I done a gravel/CX conversion on a Trek 7300fx from the early 2000s. Running new claris STI with TRP mini vbrakes....plenty tyre clearance where some of the new gravel bikes on the market only accommodate 40c... Great build Mr Shovel, greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦👊
@BoomerangVillage Рік тому
This is true. If you want to put the time into relaceing your wheels, you can even get adaptors to add disc brake mounts to the rears, and you can grab a disc fork for under a hundred bucks that you can paint to match. With derailleur extensions, you can usually get at least 11-42 cassette to work with a 1x 42t chainring. Most of these old frames from the turn of the century are made from steel, so you can cold set them to accept the wider hubs. I like to stick with silver components with brown contact points and white accents over a solid colored frame. I add on some decals to specify the frame builder and major component manufacturers, and I polish all the chrome. It's amazing how you can refurbish a bike to all the modern standards while keeping the original vintage charm for only a couple hundred bucks. I pass guys huffing around their brand new SWorks carbon gravel bikes, and I just smile knowing I spent 1/10th what they did and I'm faster because I love my bike more.
@kamonsimpson384 2 роки тому
So just wanted to say that I just finished watching your joint video with Russ from Path Less Traveled and got the biggest kick out of the end where you were asked about today’s gravel bikes just being yesterday’s mountain bikes and you responded that the actual 1:1 comparison was closer to the old hybrid/dad bikes … then this video popped up. I couldn’t agree more and I have personal experience to prove it - earlier this year I picked up a 1994(?)-ish Giant Nutra “Cross” bike, fully modernized into a gravel grinder. It has a 44/32/22 triple Deore 9-speed drive train (11/39) with drop bars (bar-end front friction, back indexed shifters), and 700/40 tires, with clearance for probably 45s. The steel frame is supple and bomb-proof. The geometry looks identical to the All Road I was eyeballing before picking up this old Dad rig. I can’t imagine trading it in for a brand new steel gravel bike would give me any upgrade that would justify the cost. I have a 90s Specialized hard tail 26er in my garage as well, so I’m already a disciple of your views on the beauty and utilitarian value of 90s mountain bikes, but this Giant has really opened my eyes into a whole new avenue of bike-repurposing.

My neighbor is returning to the US for good this summer. He's got a 90s Marin in his garage just collecting dust. He's very aware that cycling is my commuting method, so I'm hoping that he won't be able to ship that bike and offers it up. I see it sitting there sadly every time I look out of my window, just begging me to clean and overhaul it hahahaha. It's one sweet ride. Fortunately, thievery in rural Japan isn't a big thing, so it stands there in full view waiting to be reborn.

I watch these videos while working from home. Inspired me last winter to restore an old schwinn and cranbrook into bmx klunkers...I was into BMX as a kid from 80s. Restoring/rebuilding was time consuming and tedious in a good therapeutic way. I highly recommend giving it a try. I ended up selling both and getting some money back but really now can relate to the "hate to see it go". The work put in is soooo satisfying when done. It was also awesome knowing they were sold to kids who were stoked about them and were going to actually ride them a lot.. Thanks again for the videos.

@catshoemike 2 роки тому
I used to race a Kona Hahanna in the 90's, with cantis. It was a joke-fact that whatever fancy Kool-Stop pads, or how much you feathered or fettled, you could never get them to the point where the rear brakes would actually lock the back wheel. All of the family bikes, the GT that my wife raced, the Marin that my daughter raced, got swapped over the minute V-brakes came out. But yes, it would be interesting to try

The hand positions are so comfortable and more a natural position for me especially on long rides. Not to mention the different hand positions you have with those corner bars. Its almost a must for a bike if you own several diff bikes. Looks abit whacky but literally looks rad and stands out. If you have 2.6" wide tires it gives the right amount of a beefy bike look that match the bars if it makes sense lol. You wont regret it.
