Re:

Such rare and underrated bikes these early top end steel Marins...
Here's mine..

What grips do you have? yours should have the Ritchey true grip wcs too..here's a pic of 23 year old Ritchey wcs grips on my FRS, Ritchey wcs that you can buy today are as near as dammit identical!!

You can still just make out the Ritchey wcs lettering on my original ones...

Re:

thanks were these the original ones specced - Ive just put some BSO foam ones on but will probably get some from the link you supplied thanks for the heads up. Like the one you posted esp with the Manitou 1s - that's a nice fresh frame

still after:

1) marin end plugs
2) purple bar ends
3) purple cages
4) new xtr bolts
5) if an nos handlebar comes up Id take probably swap out.

new updated photo need.

Re: 1993 Marin Team Issue

Contact Gil_m for decals

Lovely stem mate, I had to purchase my NOS one from the US but totally worth it. The bike came with a very bashed up original one which was beyond saving.

It's still got most of its lacquer so I gave it a good clean with degreaser and car shampoo then a little autosol
