NEW ADDITION TO THE FAMILY

[SLIM]

recieved this morning MARIN TEAM FRS
frame a bit scratched , forks perfect ,1 small scratch .
the guy said he was selling it because he couldn`t get hold of elastomers
then sends 3 sets of new ones ,plus 95 catalogue, original manual and fork maual .

Good score. Polished frames like that should clean up really well if you can source new decals.

Look forward to seeing it built up

Very cool indeed...didn't realize anyone other than Manitou built a full sus with that design.

Looks like you need to have long leggys to pedal that, what size is it?

cheers,

rody
