Indeed!
I remember seeing it eBay originally when @doctor-bond won it. I was in no position to even entertain trying buying it at the time.
Absolutely love riding it, this is the last time it got a proper outing...
Chaps, I was lucky enough to secure what looks like an ex Tim Gould race bike last week 
I got some of its history from the vendor [a friend of the Gould family], but there are still lots of questions to answer, and I think a big part of this build is going to be sorting out its history.
Any way - here's some pics:
The parts and serial number - 89511 - seem to back up the expert opinion on here, that it is a 1989 bike, probably raced during 1990. The frame and fork are fillet brazed Reynolds 753, and like the other team Peugeot frames of the era, were crafted by...

The slow Tim (AKA @27motorhead !)
Love this Ed. Remember the MBUK article really well.
How about this as a WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
- another elusive Marin. Is it still out there somewhere?
Marin Browning Suspension prototype as ridden by Paul Hinton - Jan 1991 MBUK
There's a few of the production Pine mountain/Team models out there now. But the British manufactured prototype is still at large.
More info in my thread.
Cheers all.

Hi All.
Thought I'd start a thread on this one. 2nd project of 2018 out of my plan of 4!
Bought back in February last year, Initially it was intended to be a parts donor for another build. He's the initial 'outing' and discussion from the eBay/marketplace watch -
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=362512&p=2705821#p2705821
It soon became apparent that there aren't many of these about, so change of plan and go with a full restoration build on this one....
Bought new from Ben Hayward cycles in 1992 - it was a one owner from new bike. Years of having other bikes stored on top of it in a...

Just had a look and tbh for $399 + shipping I may as well wait for something more local as it needs a full refurb. Interesting though that it's Tange Prestige as the UK 89's were not from memory? That would suggest the UK Team Marin was the US Pine Mountain that year which opens up possibilities and would explain why the article bikes had Team spec?
