Re: Cheers and I appreciate your input - I'm not too fussed by original spec and I really like the build I've got. Happy to sell it to a RBer for £350 or see if anybody in the EBay world will pay more. That said - it's not the end of the world (by any means) if it doesn't sell. I know my...

Re: Re: I'm not sure I do! I love it - so certainly happy to keep it.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/142241049533 My 1992 Marin Team Issue - carefully built up in the Spring and is a lovely ride. I've put an EBay price of £450 on it. It may well be overpriced and I will be open to reasonable offers from RBers. If it doesn't sell (for a decent price) - then I'll keep...

Re: Yep - fair enough - but it's hard to tell what the condition is or what the components are due to the shocking pics! If it's legit - its a good starting point. I just don't trust it...

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/302133001876 £85 for a Team Marin - with this spec - either incorrectly priced or v dodgy...

Im not terribly offended by my cables - they do an important job which should be celebrated! Ive generally left cables bare - but have 'decorated' them with pretty red cable ferrules and red rubber donuts on the top tube.

I thought it was a little suspect. The cable stops on the top tube are definitely wrong and doesn't look like my 92 Team Issue. Given its not a Team Issue or even a Marin - his price is certainly on the ambitious side...

The bloke has given it a good go at selling it - but good luck to him getting £345 for it (mine was £50 with a set of Pace forks). Is it actually a Team Issue? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/191895494438

Resto? Period? Catalog? Who gives a flying crap. Build your bikes in whatever theme suits you. And if you're bent out of shape because of the way other people build their bikes, you need a new hobby. As the OP - I'm not sure I'm 'bent out of shape' by anything - let alone how people build their...

No probs - it's the smallest 'large' I've ever seen!

Hi measurements are: 46cm pit to pit and 68cm collar to tail - see pics.

I suppose the big issue for me - is I don't 'collect' bikes. I've only got one! It's my ride to the pub, cycle to work and my mount for doing the Ridgeway. I agree with others - it is nostalgic seeing the bikes as we remember seeing them in the catalogues and mags - but I certainly don't get...

I know it goes against the grain and is somewhat sacrilegious - but I don't fully understand the 'back to original spec' retro build... :facepalm: Here me out...! I'm a 90's boy - the bikes, the music and even the football (Italia 90 & Euro 96) were part of my formative years. My 3 bikes in...

I think the chap is selling the specialized tyres with the bike - he mentions it in the description and they're in the pics :wink: Yep it's in great nick and I quite like the colour - I'm sure someone will be pleased.

A nice example and with lots of original parts - including tyres: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/252401329801
