I bought two bikes today - the first was not that great of a deal, a '89 Schwinn Impact that was in a worse shape than I had expected. Should've tried to haggle down the price, ended up costing 70 € plus a 4.10 € train ticket.
Then I went to pick up a used Selle Italia suede saddle for 10 €, and the guy started offering some other stuff he had around. I snatched a small sun-bleached '91 Marin Muirwoods frameset for another 10 €
This pic is not mine but the paintjob is similar, just very dirty and sunbleached to white in many spots. Absolutely hideous, but I expect that those in the know would consider it a crime to paint over it
I would appreciate info about what components these came with, and where to find a top cap for that quill stem (mine has it missing).
I think I'll build it up using the ugliest mostly period correct non-original parts I can find to match the appeal ;D
I was actually ogling at another Marin before I decided on the Schwinn, but it was too far away ;(
