£200.... ;) ono.... :) offers?
Pics now here!
Totally original Bear Valley SE....STX-RC....ALL as it left the shop, with practically no usage whatsoever..
Full of STX-RC....Marin Lite seat, stem etc.
Original barely worn Quake tyres.
NONE of the Graphics are marked whatsoever.
Been used a little, then stored in a shed for years and years....hung up, off the tyres. No perishing at all.
DiaCompe lever brackets have a slight corrosion on the surface as seen in the pics, but not too bad at all.
Two ever so slight rust spots....shown in the pics....got too look hard to see them!
Stripped it down to the frame...they put them together well in those days!..everything was greased nicely. The bottom bracket was as new...NO corrosion at all..looked like it had come fresh out of a box.
Headset bearings immaculate, all cables original Quickest and easiest strip and rebuild i've possibly done. Nice.

Couple of cable end caps missing....i,ve run out otherwise would have replaced!

So.....piccies :D
Size....15.5" seat tube c-c....17" c-top
Top tube....22" c-c
Look on BikePedia for full spec...1995 model.

Thats all folks!
£200...............ono...... :)
 
I know it sounds cruel but if the time comes when you are ready to split this beauty i might be interested in those cantilever breaks.

So a free bump basically. :)
 
:( Its so cruel! Just seems so harsh to even consider splitting it up.
Ok if its one someone has put together from a collection....but this has all been together since 'birth'. Sob....no, no....not time to split.
Surely someone wants to adopt this lovely little Marin? :cry:
 
:cool: Cheeky-at-work-no-ones-looking-so-go-online bump!
Price definately not fixed....just picked a number out of the bag!!
So feel free to throw some realistic offers this way.
Thanx. :D
 
thats a blast from the past! If I had not got my hands on a '96 team frame last month I would have snapped this up! I may still but not at £200, sorry. whatever you do, dont split it up!
