That's a bright Brit...

Moved to a CP

Looking good!

Love the rusty veins of patina.

@ectoplasmosis cheers, it's starting to get there.

Those tabletops look great on it. What were the old tyres?

@AlexD I'm not sure but I'll check.

@alexd real cheapos, it's possibly these

The only marking on them says "Duro" and the size.
Any use to you?

Cheers but I’ll pass. Got some Conti double fighters on the way which seem good for my needs. Always swayed by a tan wall though! (Especially as this bike is the only one of mine I reckon they’d look ok on!)

Picked up a 1995 American Eagle today for the parts that are on it. If someone is after a decentish mid nineties alu frameset (with eyelets for racks), send me a pm. Can go for 25 €.

what size? might be interested for my dad

@MCamb it's 48 cm (seat tube ctt) and 57 cm (effective top tube ctc).

Headset and cage included. An additional 17 € for postage tho as I'm in Belgium.

It's pretty light actually. Found a catalog and it was a decent mid range bike then. Price in 1995 was 45.000 Belgian Francs (that's more than 1000 €)

Thanks, I’ve forwarded him the photo :)

Just got hold of a 1996 Marin Team Titanium...

Woow, that's nice.

Thanks!

hell yes!

The titanium Marin is missing its decals and has been sanded back after being sprayed yellow at some point, so far from a museum piece...

Which negates any qualms I have about getting a disc tab welded to the back. Yes, I know. No, I don’t care.

Anyone got a 16" hardrock/rockhopper or similar frame set they want to sell? I'm bored and want to build another bike, the theme of this one will be my GF can lock it up and not worry about it.

@haggis Ohhh, I might have something - I've got a small Trek 990 frame to get rid of.

I'm sorting out bike related stuff over the weekend so can send more info over then

Thanks dude, that would be appreciated.

needs another post and saddle. But still great.

Got a medium Giant CFM3 with RS Duke xcs if that's of any interest?
