I'm looking for a 18" or 20" Team Marin in Zolatone with the Magenta Pink forks and bars.
Would consider complete bike or a frame / forks.

Hi Mate
I'll keep an eye out for you as I scout for Zolatone Marins daily! But to be fair if you want a Team then there might be a bit of a wait...I saw 3 before settling on mine and that was over a 3-4 year period! Oh and the sizing is 17.5" , !9" and 20.5". Mine is the 19 and I'm about 6ft 3" ish and fine for me but ironically I have short legs! Also it was only 1990/91 that had the Zolatone finish.
Good luck with the search!

Thanks Wookie
I'm 6"0 so a 19" or 20.5" would be fine.

I have a 92 team and in a 17.5"
The Team and Team issue had 23" top tubes and the fashion BITD used to be riding the smallest you could get away with hence mine suiting me fine despite my 6`2"
I think you will find the 19" has the same top tube length.

CC do you want to sell it?
I have a 20.5" Eldridge but I would prefer something smaller, 17.5" may be too small.
I may of found one in the free adds paper in Germany. I guess its one advantage of speaking their language, although retro stuff is Germany is more expensive than here.

No I want to get it Nickel plated next year and build it as a Team Issue
Happy to cross check tube length sizes for you if you can only find a 17.5" though

As wook said, you could be waiting a while. I'm also on the look out for a 90 but can count on one hand the amount of tidy ones that have come up for sale in the last 3 or more years. Good luck though, as long as you don't beat me to one 
BTW, zolatone was only 90/91, not 89.

And me to the list.
I've seen so many Zolatone ones that have been ruined with rust though so you need to be careful. I did get a pine mountain, but that turned out to be wrecked.
So I went for one with a different paint finish and I'm very happy with it
