Yes its a marin, so no smartass comments about that feature making it oddball!

Theres 3 not so normal things. One of them will probably never be spotted although by zooming in to certain pics, it might just be.

no front brake.

It’s a 29’er (well the forks are at least), Edit No front brake as above and all your pics are from 2005? Do I win a prize 😀
Re edit, I blame the bottle of red for my hub blindness 😳

Er, have you forgotten to bolt your front wheel in? Looks nice – those Minutes are lovely forks . . . and your rear wheel appears to be bigger than the front – are you sure you put them on the right way around? 😉

aye, i always leave the date thing wrong on fotopic.its fresh,honest.

Its not the front brake missing,the front hub IS a front and not a rear.

..and i know its missing barend plugs and dustcaps.

The fork is one of the three,though.

2 more!

The rear wheel, the rear wheel, me, mee!

lol. what about the rear wheel?!

(its normal) well,apart from being an oddball build of 317 and dt 440.

no,keep trying mama.

Oh 🙁 – just the perspective of the pic then.

Er, you’re still saving up for the left hand crank . . . no, I can just see it in the drivetrain pic. Hmmmm . . .

Is the rear mech off a road bike? or just a short cage.

26er with a 29 fork ?
funny short caged mech ?
no valve cap on front wheel only plus cavalier, nay criminal, opposition of valve & logo ?
bizarre adherence to interrupted cable run in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary ?

nana is on the right scent for one of the “things”

but you have to get more specific.

the crank is complete. the bike is obviously missing 2 rings front mech,shifter and a front brake but its nothing to do with those.

is the frame a 29er as well ?

odd cranks?

chainring looks like it’s near-enough touching the chainstay, is that an illusion (or do you need to respace) ?

The rear mech looks a bit weird, like an old Megarange compatible. Is it an 8-speed? Or even a 7? I can’t zoom in far enough, cassette doesn’t look small though.

Seatpost clamp is too big for the seat tube?

theres about 3-4mm between the stay. it does look close in the pic.

no,not odd cranks.

The cage and the bottle?
No LH crank it seems to me.

Are the wheels made of wood and painted black?

Saddle is photoshopped on!

Yes I win!

<watches nana swan off in the other direction… after being very close>

to the left of the chainring in the frost picture, apparently making contact with the tyre. Is that a mark on the wall or something dodgy going on? Odd pedals?

1) 29er 100mm fork with 26″ wheel. this is the easy one.

2)

3)

no dust cap on the front wheel.

mech looks like an old xtr to me, but the cage doesn’t

10 speed rear road mech? 105?

Road mech hanger?

Ignore the hanger bit, I hadn’t zoomed in enough.

it looks a BIG cassette – have you bodged a 10sp 12-36 somehow (couldn’t have been lying around though)

Hurry up you lot, I need to go to bed.

Unique one off Titus water bottle?

Martinxyz has probably gone to bed! I won’t sleep all night if he doesn’t tell us!!!!!!

Road race mech

allen head bolt on qr clamp?

1: 29er forks
2: Rear Mech – but what I don’t know
3: 27.2 post in a 30.9 frame?
Also is it just me or does the top cup of the headset look odd?

watches nana swan off in the other direction

she won’t thank you for that mispelling

ooh, is it that you ran out of pebbledash before you got to the bottom of the wall?

The front mech isn’t connected EDIT at least I can’t see it is on phone screen

catflee46 – it’s a chainguide!

Seat post is narrower in diameter

Just guessing but is the rear mech two different mechs made into one?
