WTF? That's a Marin...

He must know it's a Marin under that custom paintjob, for he knows that the resprayed fork is a Fox Float.

Anyone reported this?

I will only take £550 for the bike

Why start it at £250 then?

I've asked him the following question:

"Isn't this a re-sprayed, re-badged Marin?"

Hopefully that will act as a warning to any potential buyer.

(I've only bought not sold on ebay so dunno)

EDIT: Doh, too slow!

Burls, as an ex-Marin Mount Vision owner (this type frame) I can only say there great frames, especially the last '06 ones which weigh bugger all.
Maybe not totally suited to 120mm forks IMO but ride well and suspension system is very effective & efficient.

I don't believe the buy it now price is majorly excessive, just that the advert title is misleading & the colour scheme a crime.

The colour is not the only thing that's a crime.
