Retro Newbie
NOS Marin Lite parts, direct from Marin's headquarters. These were obtained when Marin moved from San Rafael in 1996 (or so), and includes many parts from around 1992 - 1996:

threaded forks: for 28,6mm headsets; steerer tubes vary, but typically 150mm - 190mm; 380mm axle-to-crown, 40mm offset, gentle rake; neon orange, pearlescent blue, screaming yellow, matte black. 800g - 980g. 25USD + cost of shipping (11USD to US, 21USD outside US)

steel quill stems: for 28,6mm headsets; for 25,4mm handlebars; 110mm & 125mm lengths, 10° rise; neon orange, chartreuse, hot pink, purple. 310g - 325g. 15USD + cost of shipping (5USD in US, 10USD outside US)

handlebars: for 25,4mm stem interface; 550mm - 570mm; 3° - 5° sweep; purple, natural aluminum, titanium (color, not material!). 170g - 220g. 10USD + 3USD in US, 8USD outside US)


spokes: 1,8mm by 266mm unbutted; stainless steel; 5,4g each (a 1 500g wheel using these spokes is do-able with careful choices). These spokes were used to build Marin's OEM wheels. If you really want to build a period-correct ride, this is as ocd as it gets! 0,20USD each + cost of shipping (5USD to US, 10USD outside US, assuming 56 - 72 spokes).
