top of the range marin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[legrandefromage]

in ebay style:

''top of the range marin with £10000s spent on (something else other than) this bike.

top of the range in 1979 when my dad bought this new!!!!!!!

Its got gears - 24 of them for pulling wheelies and riding down the top-shops really fast for chips and sweets

its got suspenshun - top of the range manytwo rockshocks

its got blue and perpull paint.

only top of the range parts (were left in the shop) to make this bike a real head turner

top of the range!!! would have cost money back when it was new''




Anyway, £65 buys you this ropey turd of a 1999 Marin 'Frank' Muirwoods bike with 4130 butted cromo tubing, Manitou Mountain forks, Alivio 24spd groupset, IRC Mythos XC tyres, scratches but no dings.

Frame is 17" - ideal commuter fodder

Bike located near Peterborough for collection

Bike is actually for sale although the low rent Manitous are a bit flexy - I might swap them out for some rigids.

Hey Fromage,

Cheers for the PM, can't seem to PM you back though, so thought I'd try route 1 instead. In answer to your question, any time is fine, I'm around tomorrow late afternoon-evening, then any time after that, or next Saturday if that's easier for you
