Re: I love the mid-90s marins. The SE is a really nice bike. At the time (1996), I was torn between a Marin and an Orange and ended up with a C16r, but......this week I landed on a 95 Eldridge Grade for £30.00. Rather than hijack your thread, I’ll start a separate one as soon as I get photos...

Re: I have just bought this for my Daughter - a 1991 Diamondbike Sorrento - all original, but I've changed the perished tyres and put her fave saddle on. Also changed the chain and put a 11-32 cassette. Its in fantastic condition, just a few small paint chips - even has the original pedals with...

Re: How about this - good quality frame and reasonable parts https://www.gumtree.com/p/bicycles/ladi ... 1305327459

Re: Here's my old Vertik, set up for work use. I've always regretted selling it! [IMG_5062 by hop58, on Flickr*] [IMG_5063 by hop58, on Flickr*]

...SOLD

I've just bought this 15.5" Hawk Hill locally for £40.00...the frame is good and straight with little rust and the decals are all tidy - Tange cromoly frame (probably plain guage) with triple butted seat tube. Although an entry level model with mostly Acera x gear, it rides very nicely - really...

..provisionally sold pending payment.

I bought these a couple of years ago and they have been used for only a few short rides. I sold the bike they were on but kept the tyres thinking I'd re-use them..but I haven't! They show no wear on the treads and the amber walls are pretty clean still, but obviously not like new. £22.00...

Widened search to include Marin Bear Valley etc anything out there...pref Shropshire/NW/N Wales area

Re: Steel Univega Alpina Yes too big, but thanks anyway

Re: Steel Univega Alpina Thanks. Do you know what the top tube length is? What colour and condition is it in?

Univega alpina rigid or Marin Bear Valley/SE or similar (steel 1990's model) for 5'7", so probably a 16" Univega 15.5" Marin ..anything considered, frame and forks, something needing tlc/rebuild or a nice example. Just putting feelers out to see what's around. Thanks

Hi, Thanks, but we're sorted now Cheers Tim

Thanks for all your replies...we now have a Fisher Tassajara GS for the time being..love the Rocky Mountain, but a bit too much for now.

Re: Thanks for that..but would rather a 11/8 steerer...plus would rather wait to see if an orange turns up! Appreciate the offer. Cheers.

wanted - Orange C16r 15" or Kona Lava Dome 14" (steel) ..or will consider similar for 5'2" ish daughter..will consider whole bikes or frames...preferably with F7/P2 rigid forks. ..or univega alpina x small(?) Cheers...ideally within 50 miles of Wrexham/Shrewsbury, but will courier if okay.

Sold, pending payment..........

For sale is my Sunn Vertik which I bought new in 1998, frame and forks are in lovely original condition, with hardly any marks. (minus the original yellow 'blister' top tube sticker). Frame is made of Fuji double butted chromo and from memory it's about 4.2 lbs. The whole bike is pretty light -...

Re: Aha - just checked the seatpost with a straight edge and it is bent! well spotted. It looks a well used post that came with the bike (don't know if its the original) - I can't believe I've bent it that much on two 12 mile rides?! The frame though is spot on. 7" of exposed post doesn't seem...
