Hello. Can someone help me with some information and advice please.
I bought my Marin pre owned from JE James Cycles at Rotherham, UK around 1993, I believe I paid around £350 for it.
I used it for a couple of years before hanging it in the garage (due to new family & work commitments) where it stayed until now, which is a shame because its a nice bike. I believe it's all original (except for the tyres), the frame is straight without rust and the paint work is quite good.
Obviously it could do with some TLC and a service, the seat is torn and the handlebar ends are scratched.
Can anyone tell me a little more about my cycle?
What year was it made, is it a standard model / colour, etc. What numbers were sold, is it collectable?
As it stands what is it worth. Should I look to have it restored or is it quite common & unloved?
Frame - 19" Tange Cr-Mo Butted Tubing, Rockstar Forks.
Headset - Ritchey Logic.
Seatpost, Saddle, & Handlebars - Marin Lite.
Crankset, Gears & Brakes - Shimano Deore LX.
Many thanks for reading this, Mike
