• With the decision to sell my old winter bike and with lots of time to browse eBay I've found myself with not one but two new projects.

    I spotted this Chris Marshall thinking I know what tubing that is but after speaking with the seller he wasn't so sure and mentioned that he thought is something prior to Max... Any ideas?
    Weight is 1880g for the frame and I presume has been repainted due to the Columbus sticker, I thought the forks might be Columbus Genius...

    Does anyone know anything about Chris Marshall? My first road bike years ago was made by him but I don't know anything about him. I also think I should to touch up the exposed steel that has been wire brushed back - can anyone recommend a clear lacquer?

  • How much is he asking for? Nice frame depending on the money and definitely has loads of potential to be built up into a nice bike.

  • I paid £125 for it, quite happily. It's in club colours and it's nice to have another one. I also won't feel too bad riding this through flooded winter lanes. Will spray some frame saver in it tomorrow.

    I have a silver Campag Veloce groupset that I think I'll sell/swap out for Sora R3000 for this but I also have a silver Powertap currently on silver rims so will maybe rebuild it onto something else.

    Black or silver spokes for silver hub with black rim?
