Went for 19 quid in the end

Stuck seat post!

This is what the whole bike looks like (minus seat and pedals)

Here are some pictures. The drop out is not exactly as the one in your picture though If thats no good then let me know.

Are you still looking? I have a 20 inch Kona Cindercone with original spec. 1990 ish Black all Suntour kit. £150.

Hi I have a 1991 Rockhopper, I believe they came with either an 18 or 20 inch frame. Mine is 18 inch. It has mostly original or period correct kit on it, the paint is a bit rough. I would want £90 for it.

Late to this thread but my tuppenseworth: 1. Counted the bike in my garage in May...36! Decided to have max 24 by end of summer...Today! Number of bikes in garage today, 35!!!!! OK it not as bad as it seems. Bikes already sold to be picked up next week. 4. Bikes remaining 31. Old Marin...

Here's where I am now. Frame stripped, Stronglight A9 headset stripped and checked and regreased. BB not touched but very smooth running. I have cleaned and gone over the frame with rubbing compound to see what's what with the paint and it does need some work on the blue which is quite faded...

My first proper bike at aged 11 in 1967 wa a Calton Cobra. It was fully chromed with a black and red paint finish over parts of the chrome. The paint started flaking off from day one. In three years it looked a mess, I spent a day taking all that paint off, it was very easy, you could pick it...

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately I will have to sell this one once I have restored it since it is way too small for me at 52cm whereas I ride a 58cm. So I am going for a mild restore, swapping out any bad parts, cleaning and greasing but not repainting the frame. Hopefully I can then sell...

I've just given the Mercian a quick rinse down with Muc off to see what we have and the score is a bit of a curates egg. The modern bars and stem adapter have to go and I do have a decent 3T stem and bar set to fit, complete with 105 brake levers so that should be fine. It has very lovely XT...

Hi Calling the experts! I just bought this King of Mercia bike that looks well used but rideable. The original owner was now selling since he is 90 and feels he should stop riding it. He bought the frame set new and had it built up for him but he couldn't remember the year. I've looked for a...

Looks like I reached the max for photos so here is the overall shot. Funny thing is I rad it as 1995 😀

Thanks that's brilliant, the guys said he thought he bought it new in about 2000 but I thought it looked older. Said he paid £1100 for it. Unfortunately he snapped a crack so had these horrible things fitted but I do have a Deore set that I think will work. Yes it is large or maybe XL it is 20"...

I have just bought I Team Marin, full XT groupset except Logic cantis, rockstar rigid forks and I am trying to find what year it is. These are the serial numbers. There is an "F" before the numbers on the left. Tried looking up Marin serial numbers but got lost. Thanks

Just been cleaning it up, lubing and checking it over today. Not ridden it yet except around the patio but it feels pretty good and fits me well. had to fix a puncture on front tyre and need to index the gears then it should be ready to ride on my normal Sunday morning route. I may need to try...

I got it for 75 quid so I think I did OK :)

Looking to buy this bike. Anyone have any thoughts. Looks in good condition. How much should I pay?

That is the exact bike my dad bought for me in 1967 as a reward for passing the 11 plus exams and getting a place at the local grammar school that was a three mile bike ride away. The original colour was call black and red acrill-chrome with red and black paint over chrome. Of course the paint...
