1995 Marin Team FRS...Finished!

[ringo]

Doing a build and need to know which rear hub, the 95 Team FRS used...

Was it a WI jobbie (a la the front) or M739 XT?

Cheers!

XT or LX 8 speed. My 95 team Ti had an LX rear with a white front on Mavic 230's

Got a suitable LX unit kicking around somewhere!

Mind you those XT hubs are ace...

Found an old photocopied partial 95 Catalogue in English... Fortunately spec page is there...

Yes it's black LX - which is good... as have the perfect wheel for it.

Here's some pics guys...

The frame does have a crack on the rear swingarm (where it pivots near the BB). I'm sure I can get this sorted though. My guess is it cracked quite early in it's life as the rest of the frame is nigh on perfect. Just need to continue the good work with the paint stripper and Autosol

I've got a 95 IFT that is acting as donor and the finished build will be nigh on identical to catalogue spec.

and here's the Team, sorry Pops trippin' but that's a keeper!

Thanks Stefan... Your to blame for the bike on the right of the group shot!
