Yes, its a 1995. The groupset is from 1993, going by the handlebars, a marin bear valley from 1993 was robbed of its parts. The forks were a genuine catalogue option, if they are in good order then keep them on. Wind out the elastomer/spring stack with a 22mm (i think) socket and see how it...

Is it a question? Can you add any other details?

Its a m008 shifter. Sort of a XT level. If im looking right. Cheers.

Its all a good demonstration of the universe balance. I cannot bring myself to buy a new (up to date) bike when, my 1995 marin does everything i want it to do and its in sound condition. Where as there are folk than can't see any other option than keeping up with the latest kit. Old is dead.

Hiya dan. Says it all doesn't it. If its google-able, then it must be true! 😉 Cheers.

Im aware of graham weigh. Is this your guy? https://www.zoominfo.com/c/graham-weigh-cycles/431368254

Hey, nice bike. Squint a bit and you are back in the 90's. Zolatone has no real background for ingredients. Decals, you may get from some of the recommended guys on here. For me, give it a strip down and good clean. Zolatone is tough and porous, use a light scourer and mild soap. It takes a...

Wow, jeff, im glad to see your digital self is ok and getting on with things. Hope to see you again!

@quizziN 1993.

As daft as it my sound, these issues are rarely tested to destruction. Once discovered, they are retired. It may have been a daily rider for the last keeper, that crack wouldnt have happened hung on a wall. I guess that its your call, but doing something about it is still an option. Are you...

When you go down the moderne route, there are all sorts of annoying obstacles. Jump over them or preserve, its upto you. For me, keep it as it is but consider upgrades to 500lx, LX, DX etc.... These one -by- whatever bikes just look like a purpose made fixie, thingy. Which you could just buy...

It has pannier mounts too, so probably a team marin. Please dont anybody say that certain issues came with rack mounts....lol

Aye, with the exception of 1995 bikes, the team issue serial began with F1 or M1.

@ishaw you rummage anything up? Thanks.

Ah, ok just trying to avoid post, but i will send these for as cheap as i can. Marin ovation, 600mm 25.4...battle scars however solid. All in for £8. Ok wit choo?

Where are you based. West yorksheer by chance?

Anytime mate, not urgent. Thanks for your reply.

Im all sorted now! Im in need of a decent front mech. Stx, rc, LX, Deore 510...that sort of ilk. The low clamp for a full sus bike. Bottom pull and 34.9mm is the essence. Conditions can be flexible. I just need a presentable and non-shonky item. Im ok for paypal. In honesty, im looking for...

Keep going! I remember this in the shops back in '92 and knowing there wouldn't be much else out there to top it. £1000+ but thats my memory maxed on that issue. 'NOS 130mm stem might not work out unless I have some serious sweep on the bars.' The trouble is, 130mm was considered average or...
