Thanks. It sure does. Agreed that even though the Hawk hill wasn't a top offering of Marin at the time, that doesn't mean it's any less fun or practical in its new capacity.
The Build of Marin Hawk Hill is absolutely impressive and awesome. Warm greetings from "The White Monument", The Special Territory of Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat (Yogyakarta), Indonesia.
I appreciate your kind words. I do try to respect the original geometry and aesthetic while modernizing the functional aspects. The bars are new old stock downhill bars from the 90's. I have a few up on my shops website if you are interested. Check the links in the bio.
One of the best aspects of these frames is that they allow for such variation that they can be tailored to meet most individuals' needs. The friction shifter with this RD works perfectly well in this application. Super simple urban commuter with an emphasis on reliability. If the clients priority is more performance oriented, then the entire transmission will be assembled to suit with a higher gear count, trigger shifter, and a different gear ratio to match the application. What would your preference be?
The Muirwood is similar to the Hawk hill in that it was not the highest model back then but that is comparing it to top end race models of the day. To build it into a daily urban commuter or a weekend bike for short forays into the wilderness without doubt its worth it.🙂👍🏼
Maybe i am misunderstanding the question but the headset measure is not determined by me, the headset is determined by the frame and fork. There were a few different standards during this era. The most common being 1" threaded or ahead system, and 1 /8 thread or ahead. There were a few odd standards in between but the majority were these two. The frame's headtube will have an inner diameter to match either 1" or 1 1/8. The fork will correspond with the frame in size and determine which system, either threaded or ahead.
That’s a great new life for a lowly Hawk Hill. Bet it rides like a dream.

Thank you 🙏🏼
Super nice, pleasure to watch you doing great work! Love your tips and insights!
Great build looks purposeful. I have the same if not similar bars on one of my bikes think they're called dark angels
This particular bar was unbranded. So no such name.
@@TheUndeadMechanic theyre very strong design
Yeah man. Do it! Good stuff
Nothin to it, but to do it. Thanks.
Some bikes just look 'right'. Nice job. Really like those bars - would love to know what type/style they are?

those tires are evil looking...
Hello , what You think about a Muir wood model for put some money ? , maybe same year like your build.
The Muirwood is similar to the Hawk hill in that it was not the highest model back then but that is comparing it to top end race models of the day. To build it into a daily urban commuter or a weekend bike for short forays into the wilderness without doubt its worth it.🙂👍🏼
Very Nice!
🙏🏼
Hello sir, may i ask what's the size of the Headset that you installed? And it is a standard size or not? Thankyou in advance sir

Great stuff! I’m planning to rebuild my old Marin bike too. What do you call the handlebars you used here? Thanksss
