I would guess 18.5" as the measurement he gives is 17 and a bit. Which I would guess was to the top of the top tube or there abouts. Add 1 to 1.5" for the drop to the top of seattube gives ~18.5"
Top tube length is also consistent with 18.5" which fortunately makes it too small for me to buy on a whim. (579mm for 18.5", 592 for 19.5" from cats)
Frame will weight in the region of 2160g (4.76lb)
The grey colouring (nickel as mentioned in 1994 catalogue) just makes it look like a run of the mill Marin and nothing special. :roll:
I asked for proper measurements as RM measure got the answer back I provided the "center to center" measurement, as you say the distance from the center of the bottom bracket to the top of the tube is 19.5" or 49.5cm.
Just the right size then. Probably won't cost much. Needs to go to a good home.
I noticed that the decals differ from the catalogue too. I think they're an improvement though, brighten up the look a bit. Although the basic colour is dull, I think it might look quite nice with the bright decals if only we had a better picture of it.
This is the 1995 colour scheme incidentally (bike may belong to Bagpipes, can't remember now)
