Team marin........

It's definitely a 1991 Team. It surfaced on Ebay back in October. Classic strip and flip situation going on. Front forks do have the correct dropouts as well.

Original thread from then is here...sadly the listing is no longer visible but it's definitely the same https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/unknown-with-full-xt.436284/

It went for £113 in the end.

Cables are not right for a team. Either 2 on the top or on the head tube. I am still highly sceptical.

It also wasn't originally listed as a team, before it was stripped! If you knew it was, why would you not say?

Cable stop wise, there is a freak out there. But, Ordinarily the 91 has no head tube stops. See below.
Either way, the ebay one needs to much work, dodgy serial removal and not my size to bother with.
If the seller can confirm seatpost size, that'd settle it.

Seller reports that it’s 30.3mm

But the 91 had 2 cables on the top....unless its an " other territory" frame!

Jeees, i wish marin had just stuck to one set of designs.

Didn't that have "strong" seatposts that year?
