1992 Marin Team Issue 17.5" with Manitou 1 and original fork

[Minifreak]

Okay guys, I don't really want to sell this but needs must.

Rebuilt last Autumn and it was a real labour of love, see my restoration here:

1992 Marin Catalogue:

http://www.retrobike.co.uk/gallery2/d/12565-2/1992.pdf

I built it as close to catalogue spec as I could, differences being

Grips which are Ritchey WCS's
Saddle is a Flite Ti
Tyres are IRC Geo Claws
Rear hub is an XT so running a 7 speed cassette.

£900

PM me if you have any questions.

If this doesn't go it may be the GT Team RTS and my Manitou FS projects come up for sale. Must say I'd rather keep the Marin but my new project is also rigid and steel, don't need two the same.

Bike is in the process of being sold, however if anyone else is inte the stem let me know. Now £900 including the Manitou 1's which are fitted, and the original forks.

Now £900 for quick sale as I need to pay someone £1500 for a GT.

Re:

I know I'm kind of biased but why on earth has this not sold yet?! This was a £1500-1600 highly respected bike back in the day with the period correct manitou 1 option and top flite tange tubeset....
This is a genuinely great bike unlike some over hyped cool at the moment bikes that are deemed better

Thanks for these words Shawn, whoever buys this will be getting a superb bike.

If I hadn't just finished another top quality steel bike build, and didn't need the cash towards an expensive GT Xizang purchase, I'd certainly be keeping it. This Marin is an amazing ride and superb quality when the brand were top of their game
