Here's a 1999 Marin Pine Mountain Frame - 19", in fairly good condition. A few scratches, normal wear and tear etc. The Pine Mountain is the next model down from the Team Marin. The frame is double-butted Columbus Thron steel. The weird colouring in the pics is due to my camera phone throwing a wobbly over pearlesent paint in sunlinght :roll: .

Spec here: http://www.bikepedia.com/QuickBike/Bike ... &Type=bike

Geometry here: http://www.sheldonbrown.com/marin/pinemountain.html

I've bought a pair of brand new Kona Project II triple-butted forks (£69.99), a used XT front mech (£15) and a new Shimano cable guide (£2) to go with the frame. I built the bike up today (I didn't cut the fork steerer or add a star-fangled nut) and rode it about and it is just too big for me. :(

The last 1999 frame like this to grace these pages was Ratbane's which was advertised for £90. I think if we say £135 for the whole lot, posted to the UK, is a fair price?

Separately price will be frame £65, forks £55, mech £15. The fork spec is listed here:

There were a few other bits n bobs thrown in, but it made around £90 indeed. Fabulous riding frame too.

The paintwork is a tad better on this one.

A NOS one went for £150 on ebay a month ago too.

Sorry to hijack, but I've got original Ovation saddle, stem and bars for this bike if anyone fancies to finish the job off.
 
Bump, now for sale, includes new triple-butted Kona Project II forks and an XT front mech and cable guide. I can bung in a Ritchey bar and stem too for another tenner.

Seatpost is 27.2mm, BB shell is 68mm. The 1999 Marin catalogue can be found here: http://www.retromtb.pl/pdf/marin99.pdf

I'm willing to split if folk are interested in just the frame or forks.
