Pair of Nos porcs seems like a good deal from same seller (they aren't white)

The porc 2 has the newer logo so nowhere near as desirable as the original.

£150 for a NOS XT mech!!!

I remember when this came up ages ago:

I'd build that up and ride the hell out of it.

To paraphrase:

Cost in 2021 €900, equivalent to £2500 in 2023...

Err, okay...

Were you privy to the purchase price then?

Where do these even emerge from? I get that stuff doesn't get sold, stock tidied away and forgotten about - but why on gods green earth do I never find anything like this?

"Oh thats where I put my spare unboxed deluxe MTB - I was wondering where that went!"

It was listed for €900 but who knows what it went for

In todays money in gbp and adjusted to inflation the pine mountain frs would’ve cost ~£1,700. An equivalent pine mountain on the Marin website costs about £2,100. And that’s not even full suspension or has an xt groupset

Looking at the third picture on the eBay listing it looks like the original RRP was 4999 DEM but was on sale at 1999 DEM. So RRP was close to just over £4250 in today's money.
