Marin Titanium FRS

Re:

Good to know for future ref. so I know a fuselage is worth around £450-£500GBP when I get to look for one for myself in future (I would like one as its essentially a Manitou FRS I wouldn't be afraid would break - because the Marin version generally didn't, whereas the Answer Manitou version generally did, (sadly, because it was lovely engineering let down by that dodgy aluminum stuff that tends to go brittle with use and age). Marin's addition of the Ti front end was a great idea! Enjoy new buyer, and well done former owner, its a fitting tribute to the best bits of the early Doug Bradbury Manitou Range - there;s space for one on my own personal garage wall of fame in future for sure.
 
Check the alloy around the pivot behind the bottom bracket. The frames were renowned for cracking at that point. I'd be surprised if it hadn't at least started...
