Hmmmmmm, that frame looks familiar.

Is that not TBCs old Marin frame?

Edit: As you're new, you'll not know TBC from back in the day.
This is the one I was talking about.......

No. Its not his frame. I picked this up locally here in California.

Ahhhhh, fair enough. I only mentioned because it's a particularly rare frame, especially so here in the UK.

Nice looking bike though, sensible kit too.

Thanks. It seems as if this bike is rare everywhere. I looked for a few months until stumbling across this frame which was new and it happened to be my size (19). I love Giant XTC1, which is where these parts came from, but I've been a Marin guy from the beginning. Especially being here in San Francisco.
