My search paid off.
A genuine Marin one piece bar and stem combo in Titanium made in 1993, and further more it's NOS and direct from ATB sales themselves. It is destined for my 1993 Team Titanium. The last of the polished Litespeed ones, but with the blasted headtube welds and stays.
This is the only photo I have of one, but mine has no canti guide as it was meant for other brakes such as Maguras. The decal is in fact polished Ti with a decal applied, then blasted. Remove the decal afterwards and the result is lovely.
I remember they were several hundred pounds and run in very limited numbers.
I can't tell anyone else my excitement as they don't understand.
