I've been offered my mates 91 team Marin, it's been "garaged" for over a decade (ie has an old buggy on it, 26 paint tins hanging from the bars and walled-in by toot).
He got it new a couple of years after I got mine ( which I still have). The lockdown prompted him to make a life change and get back out there on it.....well we all know what's coming....
It got stored for a reason, hes tragically unfit and the bike is really not his style now. Also, he went through a rim (wore it so thin) and the fronts not far behind! Tyres shot to bits ( ones been partially eaten by something). :shock:
I fancy doing it up as I have time and have agreed to give him what it's worth finished, less the parts to do it. I dont care about the time, I'm retired, so its mine to do with as I wish, and I'm quite capable of working out the parts and services (paint, stickers etc).
So, the big question is, what is a really good 91 team worth? The only non original bits would be tyres and the rims ( unless I can find a pair of 32 hole araya 395 teams for not silly money).
Any similar sales? What's the general consensus please.
Cheers.
