Hey Duke,
Couldn't resist...thank you for posting whilst I was under the influence.
I had a double page MBA advert for the Team FRS, sellotaped together, (from the back, obviously) blu-tacked to my wall back in 1994 - I'd never seen anything like it before and it became my holy grail.
Back in 1992 I had bought a brand new Rocky Ridge, (saved up from milk-round money - getting up at 00:30am and running around for 8 hours then going back to bed until 2pm) for the princely sum of 750GBP (sorry but my keyboard keeps making a "#" symbol when I go for the pound sign).
I was very happy and content with that bike until around the year 2000 when I used it for courier work in London - and after about a week some knuckle-dragging scum decided to pinch it.
So immediately after that I placated myself with a second hand 199? (4? - still don't know exactly) Marin Team Titanium frame from the "Recycle Bicycle Co." in Penge for 500GBP. Also right next door to that shop (and interlinked) was, "The Fridge" where months later I got my first Control Tech FS frame. Sadly both of those shops are now no longer with us.
Anyway, I'm sorry to give you my 'half' bike-life story, as the only question you asked was "Did anyone on here get it?"
So the answer is yes.

Wow great buy, well done! 
It was a little bit too big for me anyway, but if it was a smaller size I'd have been in there like a shot!
