Now this is old, and I can't lay claim as to how old it is exactly but its defo last century. It has been in my possesion since last May and it was given to me when I was training to become a bike mechanic. So I can say hand on heart it has been fully stripped and rebuilt several times over. All the hubs have been serviced with new grease and bearing, as well as the head set and bottom brackets, The mechs have been completely rebuilt, and the wheels fully stripped down and rebuilt up from scratch, and there are new cables in throughout. I kept it around as I was going to strip the frame right back, and make it an awesome singlespeed bike. But with all the original metal badges on it, as well as it being a 6 speed triple, it seems a shame to turn what will, eventually be a little pieces of history, if its not already, and it would be nice if someone took the time to restore it back to its original state. Really all it needs is a new bit of paint from someone who could redo the transfers as well. perhaps its worth talking to Marin to see if they still have any. Anyway thats why I thought I'd put it up on here. I would love for it to be me restoring it, but truth is. I just don't have the time, I'm the spanner monkey for the Green Bananas teams bikes as well as my own and what with ridng working and running mtbTV, its a labour of love that just isn't going to happen. So its up on here. Oh and it would make a perfect singlespeed. . . :) Look I'm going to start the bidding at a £10 and it is advertised it elsewhere so it might get finished sooner but it goes for what it fetches so its over to you. Postage wise I've been looking at shipping my YETI and its coming in at over £40 to ship so it might be worth collecting it in person, or perhaps organising a courier to pick it up yourself, but let me know if your the winning bidder and we'll sort it out somehow
