The one and only MARIN FRS topic !!

[karlomanx]

As there's nothing on that model I thought it was time to create its own topic.

Here's mine, yet to be restored :


I know, I know, the crankset is crap, as are the tires but it'll change soon (that's how I bought it some years ago).

Please post anything you have about it !

I've been hunting for one of these for years,

I loved my genuine Manitou back in the day, but like everyone else it cracked to pieces

I replaced it with a Pine Mtn hardtail, (also loved it)

so the way I see it if I could graft the rear of Manitou onto the front of the marin i'd end up with........ :shock:

Now these are a rare beast.

I keep thinking about why I'd want one, but logic isn't really a consideration, as they just look so cool. And that's enough.

I keep looking over the flock and deciding which of mine would get the chop to accomodate one of these Titanium framed beauties.

I remember Bicycle expo in 1992 I think, at Alexandra Palace. I was stood outside checking bits and bobs, when this van rolled up, and a man pulled a Manitou full susser out of the back, and the whole crowd was gob-smacked at this creation. We all realised that mountain biking had just gone very serious and would never be the same again, and it wasn't.

So, yes, I want one, but it's waiting in line behind an Amp Research B5.

Nice frame - got some serious miles on it though judging by the stanchions on the rear.............
