Am I missing something? (Marin Ti)

[Twozaskars]

Marin Lite rare titanium mountain bike circa early 1990's 19 inch frame 11 kg | eBay

Only two owners from new. Totally original unmolested condition, as seen, and in full working order.

Looks steel, welds, guides, lugs all look steel, am I correct in believing that the frame number says 1993 17” team issue, which were steel?

Steel for real

Seller is also selling another bike that is actually titanium, wonder if he’s just got his wires crossed.

Totally original unmolested condition? I'm no expert but that doesn't look very original at all to me.

Its a 93 team issue.... for starting bid its not a bad price, but is going to need some serious wd40.

Pitty its lost most of the xtr groupset.

Totally original unmolested condition

Hummmm. Wrong wheels, crank, bottom bracket, pedals, grips, qrs, rear mech, gear shifters, brake levers, tyres....

Oh hang on......lets do this the other way round....original frame, fork, front mech and cantilevers....

1993 Team Issue is correct ... no titanium!

the handlebars might be Ti!

I must say the headline ‘am I missing something’ really made me chuckle.
I wonder if the fault was with those of us whom were interpreting the word unmolested, the purveyor’s view of this cacophony of parts could have meant “
‘Left in peace’ - they allowed him to pass unmolested.
Anyway, it made me chuckle. I hope this doesn’t appear to rude a comment!
