Right, this has been sat in my old house and now in my new garage without so much as a clean, which probably suggests I am not going to get around to using it or doing it up anytime soon (especially with a new project to focus on :facepalm: )
Having spoken with the resident Marin experts I'm concerned this will be a touch too small for me at 6.2. Frame meaures 19 centre of bb to top of the seatube, which I think is 17.5 c-c and how Marin measure this.
Originally purchased off here viewtopic.php?f=2&t=275071 for the sum of £50.
I took the bottom bracket out without any problems. The seatpost was stuck. Stuck stuck. It did give...but needed some heat to get it out, which has scorched a bit of the paintwork.
By the way, do you know how hard it is to get a 29.5mm seatpost?! Very, but I managed to track one down which I duly overpaid for.
Anyway, for £50 collected from East Devon you get:
Frame, forks, headset, stem, club roost risers, gripshift (look a bit cheap but welcome to them), dx front mech, dx rear mech, dx cantis, dx brake levers (sti's but with the shifters taken off, bought by me like this), original Marin seat clamp lever.
Oh and the seatpost chucked in, and the knowledge that nothing else is stuck or in need of rescuing, it just needs a clean, t cut, and building up. Also have some rough Marin black flat bars in the garage somewhere.
All in all that's a pretty good deal I'd say. Drop me a line if any queries or questions.
Lots of photos:
As picked up by me (shows all the bits on the bike)
