Ha ha, I remember John's Bike shop in Romford from when I used to live darn Saarf! Is it still there?

Oooh....good job this is too far away from me....otherwise I'd be buying it just to have a soul-mate for my Pink Tufftrax in the same size.....

Nice..... these old Raleighs may be fairly heavyweight, but they ride like a dream (but I'm biased as I've got both an Ozark and Avanti in the stable!)

Why do you need a tool - all you need is a car and a piece of strong rope.... [I seem to recall a post on here many moons ago suggesting that someone had tied a frame to a gatepost and the other end to a car and put pedal to the metal....] Although it may be a valid method, it still makes...

Hi, just sent you a PM. If the frame is still available and previous posters doesn't work out, I'll take it. I'm local as well so can collect. Cheers.

Could be interested...but is that rust or is it dirt on the bottom of the seat tube in the first pic? Cheers

Muirwoods? Palisades?

That's an amazing find - rare as hen's teeth this side of the pond (in my experience anyhow, as I'm always on the lookout for anything early/mid 80's). Looks in good nick - I think you are right about the bars, they don't look original. The stem looks pretty original (which rules out a...

Not for me....just my size. Am very tempted to have a punt, although with the addition of 2 bikes in the last month, not sure I'll get higher approval...

Nice, good score at that price. Just like my '87/88 but mine is blue - since getting it, it's becoming my "going to the shops bike" of choice....lovely relaxed angles!

Nice....would go nicely with my Ozark, Avanti and RSP.....must resist....

Pretty sure it's an '88. I've got a '87/88 model (87 colour with 88 chainstay U-Brake) - I've just posted some pics in the Marin thread if interested. It's a really comfy ride! If this is your size and you like older Marins, I suggest you jump on it. Ones this age don't come along that often...

Nice...always been after one of these and in my size as well (nearly). Don't think I'll be biting though at that price - was hoping to pick up a frame for maybe 60 notes or 70 tops if I was in a good mood....

I'm also guilty of that sin....glad I'm not alone! Multi-tasking at its best!

Oolong, nice. Glad it's too small, otherwise would be bidding to match my Orbit pink road bike!

Looks like a '93 to me (well, it looks like my one). I think GT also stopped calling it the Pantera AL after about '93 (it changed to Pantera)... But I'm sure a real GT expert will no doublt be along soon!

B#gger - I'm gonna miss this again..I'm off down South for the Olympics this weekend. Mate went last year some time and picked up a pair of matching mint 80s StumpJumpers for him and his wife off a seller for 50 quid a piece and loads of bargain NOS retro clothing. Could be well worth a...

Radical Rick.....that brings back memories!

I would have that for #30 if it was nearer.... don't really want it but it was my first MTB bitd and it looks pretty original...

That makes me feel better - I've got 5 or 6 pairs of XT thumbies sat around - but I can't ever bring myself to part with them! Also got loads of old low rent Exage and 200gs stuff around - worth peanuts so never worth selling but always come in handy for missing nuts, bolts, fixings etc.
