Wanted Marin Frame+bits

[adz313]

Bit of an odd selection possibly, but does anyone have any of the following in 19"
Preferably Frame, Fork, Stem and Bars, but happy to consider completes too.

90/91 Bolinas - the neon yellow one
94 Bobcat Trail
94 Pine Mountain

Cheers!

Cheers @baj - that's actually the one that prompted the post - the other two have been longer term wants but the neon certainly caught my eye.

What's general process for arranging some cross-country transport on here? I'm Gloucestershire based so Keighley is a bit of a trip

There’s a thread somewhere with willing folks’ locations, find someone on the list nearby to keighley and send a heart warming message pleading for assistance!

I'm happy to collect from Keighley and post on mate. Or I have a tidy 90 Palisades I might sell!

Thanks for the offer - I've asked the seller to check sizing as he's noted it as being 18.5" which I'm hoping makes it the 19" size.

Is the Palisades the zolatone one? Or a more vibrant version (think they did a yellow/purple flip one)?

No worries mate, I'm just down the road at Skipton.

Are you after a Marin 19" or traditional 19"? Marin always measured centre to centre where as the usual way is centre to top so a Marin 17" will be more like 19". The Bolinas looks that size to me? BTW, the Muirwoods was neon in 90, not the Bolinas so worth looking for those too. I got hold of a mint Bolinas years back and gave it to my best man at my wedding. Looked lovely but the groupset was terrible!

As for mine, it's a zolatone one and Marin 19", so 21"ish. Not really bothered about selling but I don't use it so happy to pass it on to someone who will.

I'd probably want to keep the tyres but can replace them with black ones.

Probably a Marin 19" to be honest, i've got a 94 Rockhopper which is 19" and borderline too small, so larger probably better.

I'll politely decline yours, I've got a hankering for a bright bike so will keep an eye out for the Muirwoods as well - cheers for the time.

I'll give you a shout if the ebay one makes positive progress, appreciate the help
