I have just had a closer look at this and I think this model should come with White Industries cranks and front hub but it looks like they are missing unfortunately, unless they come in black versions...

BTW the "Marin Lite T.6" just refers to the handlebars, I believe your frame is steel. The label should be on the bottom of the seat tube. Tange?

EDIT: It is a 1992 in Tange steel.

I think if you offered it for £150 you'd get interest, providing everything works. Offering postage will increase interest x10.

There's nothing particularly special about a 1992 Marin Pine Mountain. The steel double-butted frame is, I think, the same as an Eldridge or Bear Valley. Brochure says the forks are triple-butted. It looks to be in fair condition.

£150 is optimistic in my opinion.

Yeah, maybe so but worth asking that and taking a lower offer?
