That doesn't preclude it from being a Marin, just not necessarily a team issue Marin What size headset is it?

FluffyChicken Archivist Retrobike Rider Feedback View Sep 23, 2011 #20 Maybe it's just me but I see.. Cable Stop Top Tube One for the Brake One for the rear mech Cable stop Down tube One for the front mech. I cannot see anymore than that and that's the normal amount. How much does it weigh?
