Spotted at the Slow Food Cycle in Pemberton.

man those elastomers must be as hard as rocks by now

on the other hand i worked on a bike about 10 years ago with a girvin that i think had been converted with an aftermarket coil spring. still quite light and remarkably supple

That Proflex appears to be in better condition than the one I found under our patio floor on Savary Island the other day :D

Unfortunately the main pivot is cracked, but there's a few decent parts on it and the Judy XC fork has some bad-ass MountainSpeed Speed Springs installed. Pluuuuush :D The rear shock is currently a bit of a mystery.

I saw a guy pedalling around a village in Senegal on one of those Marins just last week. Weird.

I agree PS.

First properly marketed mountain bike that didn't break when you took it off road.

Is this closer to the mark?

Someone remove the child seat and have some retro fun!

^^^ never been run on the big ring :lol:

150 pretty good deal if everything in decent shape .

^^ adding 'vintage' or 'retro' or 'classic' to the description woulda doubled the price
