What's it like to ride? Lightweight?

Ah sorry just seen that it's 19'' frame but i'm looking for a medium so 17.5 or smaller.

What material is the frame?

Is this still for sale?

Has this now sold?

Hello! Thanks for the info and also boohoo! Gutted so yeah the Marin prob is too big for me unfortunately. Why can’t bike manufacturers just make things to a single standard way so everyone knows where they stand

So it isn’t a 17’’ frame you mean?

Thanks but could you translate that for a novice?😂🤷‍♂️

Thanks and yes I think the one I’m viewing is a 95 model purely guessing but it has the blue bar ends/components. Frame size question though. I’m after a 17’’ frame and the seller says its frame measurements are from the centre of the crank to the centre point where the top tube meets the seat...

Thanks for all the comments much appreciated. I prefer the ‘look’ of the Univega but yep the Marin is the better bike overall. Hmmm….decisons decisions………

Haha thanks for this! 😂👍 They are both around the £200 mark. I’m wondering if the Univega cromo frame is fairly light weight and decent quality steel also? I’ve read about Tange being very good but not heard anything about Racelite cromo frames.

Hi, After some advice if possible. Which would probably be a better buy out of a 1994/95 Marin Pine Mountain with a Shimano XT components and a Tange cromo double or triple butted frame and a Univega Alpina 502 from similar year with Shimano STX components and a Racelite 4130-DB double butted...

Merry Christmas to you too!👍

Hi, looks nice but a couple of inches too big for me unfortunately!
