Is this still available please?

Be great to get the frame number from this one please. I need a few more Voodoo frames on the list.

For the search engine (they can't read photos ... yet) number appears to be FE2AA0002 I still don't have many frame numbers from this range of Marins, but this is a handy addition. Best guess is that the number dates the frame to 1992, so could be a 1993 model year. It isn't a 1994 Indian Fire...

Aren't those seat bolts M6? I'm sure mine is.

Nice Giant Terrago in Norwich, Sat 15th November. Brightened up a dull day.

Here's how the rear brake is set up: I've had plenty of experience with cams like these. I find they work best with simple brake levers, not SLR like the Shimano 737s or cammed designs like the Dia Compe PC series. That's why I've gone for Chicken Stixs on this bike.

The rear brake rocker looks like same as my Rock n Roll. Except they're both setup different ways. I'll get a photo.

Fork could be Muddy Fox. Check the 1997 catalogue as they're featured there.

Just on here is ideal :) Did you post a bottom bracket photo then delete it?? That looks like an unusual, but genuine number to me. I suspect it was US built like the Zaskars, as it isn't an Asian format number - it's also the first I've seen like that. @kingoffootball

There's two versions of those frame - yours, 'faux-bar' and an otherwise identical Horst link version like this: The horst link ('FSR') version seems more common. Just an observation that I found interesting.

Yes progress is happening, but I still haven't finished it which was the aim for the summer just gone. No photos since the one above, but the brakes are now cabled up, gear cables half done. The rear brake has a nice cam as part of the frame, I'll add some photos as that may help others in...

The frame number usually gives away the country of origin. They're distinctive enough that Asian numbers are pretty well organised and identifiable, whilst domestically built frames are more 'boutique'! I'm happy to check any numbers against my list, Norco are pretty thin on the ground but...

April 1997 is a possibility, frame number 5.

No but I'll give it a go.

I think I've seen Scott Dommett bash his crank right about there several times.
