Gary Fisher Marlin - Cro-Mo frame
21" top tube / 17" seat tube .
Am 5'8" and owned since the 90s (1996?)
Sold with RST Delta TL forks and original forks. Shimano LX V-brakes, Alivio and Acera-X groupset, SRAM400 srt gripshift, GT platform pedals, newish riser bars.

This needs some restoration as seen in photos, as has been outside a while under a cover and as a result there's some rust in places. Have tried to be transparent with the photos.

Still has some nice components and the basis of a decent MTB or commuter bike with a bit of TLC. The suspension forks still work pretty well for their age.

Based in SE4 Crofton Park. Is £150 fair? Let me know!

Or turn it into a bulletproof tourer. This started life as a 95 marlin before I fell down a rabbit hole. It’s been on numerous tours and the love we have between us is palpable 😂. We’re off to Eastern Europe in two weeks. The frame will never break

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.
