[Szeregowy]

I am selling a used Marin Team Marin bike in perfect condition and 90% preserved in its original configuration. The bike has traveled about 2.000km. The bike was bought in '96 in the Marin store, where it was immediately rebuilt to the Team Issue version. Manitou Mach 5 SX shock absorber and all Marin Lite brackets were installed. Size 20.5" I encourage you to buy it. It is probably the best preserved condition of Team Marin You can buy!

Thats a nice bike, for sure.
Its a team marin, as it would be. Not sure of the team issue connection, it looks a standard sort of spec for a team?
The mach5 were a bolt-on upgrade.

Its a hefty price too at £899..friendly fire, of course.
Good luck with the sale.

In 1996 the Marin team was on cantilever brakes and a stiff fork. The team issue version with Manitou Mach 5 sx and v-brake xt. The price is high, because the bike is practically new and the catalog has a complete specification (only the saddle and tires are not original from the year 96). Regards!

I think thats a 19" as im pretty sure they were still measuring c to c not c to t at that point......but new marins are not really my field of interest!

Good luck with the sale

Nice bike for sure but punchy price. 1996 doesn't seem to hit the spot like the 1989 - 1994 models.

It does look like a 19" based on Marin sizing. I agree.

I'm in the market for a high end Marin but this is a little too modern for me too.

Good luck with the sale.

The headtube is 180mm long, so according to Marin's geometry it is 20.5"

Must just be the photo angle as i thought it looked far shorter than that......but yes.....if its 180, it should be a 20.5.
