I dunno they have a Team Marin with 1989 year on it, with 1993 MAG21 suspension forks and a brace form 1994 on ?
Someone's going to have a weird idea about front suspension ;-)
and onza Porcs on ?

never mind the 1990 Klein Rascal with 'flat' 1995/6 Judy forks on it

I've got to stop looking now, just going to rock in the corner

And it's got STI's and the SG round chainrings. Both weren't fitted until the 1990 model.

I dont think they are show bikes, just average bikes from back in the day, though i did not spot the Knackered Judy's

Here you go, you will be able to sleep tonight now. Just don't look too closely at the tyres. Not had a chance to change them yet.

Good job you didn't, you'd have noticed the xtr Canti's too.


I don't know my frs bikes but that is a 1996 not a 1995?
95s used fork stays, not a multi lever rocker thing and 97 had swing arms by then (or did they still do frs's?)

In reality there are some* nice bikes there, I'd fully expect to see them ridden at retromeets and rides, not in a museum style show**.
Hope all had a go day and enjoyed it.

*lots
**one of my sort of show I'd end up at yes, with my bikes in.

Hi, i was personally at this 'car' show, and had been very positively suprised seeing a lot of Bikes I do adore.
Sure it was in the back of a pretty empty hall and the light was weak there, one could also question the selection, as some iconic stuff was missing.
But Bikes had been mostly from private owners, a few from Marin, Specialized etc.

Before you'll see more incorrect stuff, here's a list:
- the Breezer seem to be a complete mistake, maybe a 1986 Göricke?!
- the Stumpi from Specialized even directly, has not just awful out of time components, but the frame might be a replica
- the Marin FRS Titanium was labeled as 1993, but it's most likely a model year 1996
- all Bike have been mounted very badly with hose clamps at the crank arm, no one here would ever do this
Still all in all a nice set of lovely bikes
