Agreed with you about the updates to modern bikes being welcome. The dropper post is such a dramatic improvement. Sometimes, I do miss packing bearings... Just kidding!
Prices of new bikes are insane!!! I can buy a used Honda Fit for price of new bike and I did !!!! Riding a 2004 Klein Palamino with hydraulic disks and shorter stem fine for my Xcountry rides... and a Crank Bros Rebuilt Joplin for a dropper-with heavier motorcycle fork oil and higher pressure lbs in it :)
I tried a shorter stem on my vintage bike, but I found that it made the cockpit dramatically shorter. (Forget even what it did to the handling. I know that that could've been helped with wider bars.) The short wheel base of the bike became immediately apparent, considering the original stem was there to effectively lengthen the cockpit. What I decided to do instead was find a period stem that was ever so slightly shorter than the original one; this made the bike feel slightly more comfortable to ride, while still allowing me to more or less maintain the original way in which my weight was distributed on the bike. Older bikes seem to demand more rider weight on the front than modern bikes do. P.S. that Marin is beautiful!
@@kona0197 I have a 11 year old Trek with hydraulic disc brakes that I use a lot. I have only changed the fluid 1 time after 8 years and the fluid was still good. The hydraulic disc brakes are fantastic and you cannot compare the breaking power compared to horrible 80'ies V-brake design, that is still used on cheap bikes till this day.
@@danielfl.9347 I'm not comparing the breaking power of the two systems. We all know hydraulic disc brakes are more powerful. I'm simply saying that hydraulic brakes are a bit more labor intensive to maintain. Fluid should be changed out once a year and it can be messy and time consuming. And V-brakes came out in the 90s. All we had in the 80s were center pull cantilever brakes.
Here is a detailed list of the maintenance I’ve had to do on my Shimano SLX hydraulic disc brakes since installing them on my hardtail 10 years ago: Replaced the pads 2 years ago. End of list.

Just another great story told through a video! It’s been an interesting winter, and now spring, out west.
Thanks Mike! Some great donor parts will be going on the 95' Marin.

Looks like an awesome hard tail!!!!
Thanks Tyler!
Nice video. Great looking bike. Trip to Moab sure looked like a fun time too.
Thanks brother😎

Thank you, great insight on weight distribution
Cool lil video Rusty
Good looking bike.
What a bike!!! Great review, man!
Thanks Miguel
Cool video dude. Cheers !
Hey, love your channel and content. Do more retro mtb building.
Thanks Wilson!
Sweet bike, nice video!
Thanks for watching!
Great looking bike! Were you riding around Gem Lake bike park? I was hoping to take my kids there before it snowed this week.
Yes it was 95% dry
i really like that Team 1 bike, i really want to buy it, is it worth the cost? coooool video!
Yes, I think for the money it’s a great deal.
@@CoolBikeProjects thanks!

Hi. why your bike has dropper? according to marlin site team 1 shouldn't have one. Or just demo bike comes with one?
Probably just the demo version. It makes a world of difference.
Ok men,but in case of that the tired fail how I must remove the tired? Need I someone special tool?
Did u put a 130mm fork? The stock one is 120mm right?
I just double checked it on their website, you are correct it’s 120 mm.
Hi. What's the size of this bike you are reviewing? and may i know your height?
Sure thing. It was a small size. I am 5'7'' so I was a little maxed out for this size. I could make it a daily rider with a longer stem.
You did not address the issue with seat stays breaking!
Porque el marco de la que aparece en la.pagina es distinto?
Not sure I understand your questions. They are the same bike.
Disc brakes are still more prone to maintenance then a good old set of V-Brakes.
No. 100% incorrect.
@@danielfl.9347 Bleeding a hydraulic disc brake is still more labor intensive then replacing pads on a V-Brake.
