nice but check the swingarm pivot points for cracks
marin mount vision 1997
I bought this frame n.o.s and it had never been ridden and the swingarm is immaculate and no cracks.I have a spare swingarm from a 1999 on its way which will need sandblasting to remove the hideous orange paint.I will then put it under the stairs just in case.

I bought one brand new back in '97. It was a big leap forward in full sus bikes and the time, I loved it. I even got to meet John White at the Malverns that year, who asked me how I liked the bike.
