    Guy wants £600 for it (including clamp and integrated headset - it's BNIB), I think it's worth that for bragging rights alone! :lol:

    The frame I currently have is a size 17", I am just under 6ft and fits me fine, could go a couple of inches either way :)

    I'm not promising anything, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't interested! PM with the details if you decide to sell.

    Yep, I got him down to £530 in the end (plus I couldn't afford anymore than that), I think that's a fair price for the frame, after all it's brand new don't forget, and noone has one in the UK ;)

    It's all about the Team Issue maaaaaan 8)

    Oh and it's as light as fook!

    2009 (they only started them then)

    It's not an Indian Fire Trail, it's the Team Issue frame that the rider's for marin use, it's sub 3lb, scandium and has a more racier geometry..... plus it looks the nuts!

    I love Marin frames, they are gorgeous, that's where most of the money spent on a Marin goes....

    SID Race ?!

    it at least deserves a SID team

    nice looking frame. that range of colour (lighter blues) is one of those really hit and miss ones. This looks lovely though.

    you'd better be fast :P :wink:

    Beer in moderation ... is a waste of beer

    If riding an XC race bike is like touching the trail,
    then riding a rigid singlespeed is like licking it
    ... or being punched by it, depending on the day
