Singlespeed Marin
Iteration no. 12. For real, I've counted them all.
Puch Mistral

Ever-Changing Marin
Are you bored of this bike yet? I am not and I never will be.

Small Belgian brand, massive tubes, big tyre clearance and lots of anodization. Another piece of aluminium heresy.
Corratec 2002

1xMarin
Leaving the #savethetriple tag behind. From 21 to 9 gears, from indexed to friction shifting. Upgrading by downgrading!

MonsterMarin
This was one of my most fun builds ever. Many different iterations, lots and lots of fiddling, only to get hit by a car in the end. Spoiler alert.
Kästle Trekking 1994
The cheapo gravel grinder, the DIY-cross, the monstourer, the heavyweight champion. The one that was built way before I had any sense for bike aesthetics.
