Looking for a XL (22" and up) 90s rigid MTB frame - something along the lines of GT karakoram or Specialized hardrock/rockhopper etc for a 1x gravel/commuter conversion project.

Have seen a couple pop up on here from time to time so curious to see if anyone has something floating about. Bonus points for funky paint jobs!

I’ve got a big Team Marin (the one with the nonstick paint), has had track ends professionally added so would make a great rowdy SS beater

Have just found a nice big '93 giant cadex alm 1 which I think is going to be perfect for my project as I have a decent wheel-set ready to go for it. Will post pics in the project section, thanks all and good luck with the Marin shes a beaut!

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
