So, these appeared on Facebook last week, looked very familiar and a incredibly well priced, the seller didn’t know exactly what he had so installed messenger, which I hate and sorted the deal. Didn’t ask many more questions and hoped for the best when they arrived.......

Very nice spot there chris, well done, theres a nice 90's 18"klein on fleabay cheap at the moment in doncaster thats dying to bo saved too.
 
I think I saw those on an ebay bike reasonably recently... perhaps a P7. Suspect it got parted and the person was just looking for a profit.

Lovely find :)
 
Just need to sort some matching rims, newer nipples in black? And fit them to the rc100. Happy days

Indeed. I don't usually use FB marketplace but a mate wanted a cheap bike so took a gander and found a Marin for £60. Looked good value, mate went to look and bartered down to £20. It all works but going to upgrade a few things for him. The RRP for it was around £600 and I could have just fitted a new chain and tinkered with the set up.

For £20 that's literally no risk. The tyres are probably worth that alone (IRC Mythos).
