    Diamond Back Dual Response 93 vs 94

    @joglo great info 👍 and whilst I also don't have either I tend to agree that there wasn't a change in frame design for the '93 & '94 aluminium models. Now if someone could spare a '93 in a small size I'd appreciate it! All the ones I've found have been either cracked or too big :(

    Giant MCM Team

    They don't seem to be expensive in any market. As far as I can tell, an MCM Team frame like mine would have been £600 new back in '95.

    @Dr-Zocchi I’ve got your rebuild kit book-marked, just no funds at present. Stanchions are in lovely condition, one top plug is spotless, the other less so - what sort of special treatment do you mean? Perhaps I can pm you with some close up pics for your appraisal?

    Opinions on FS fork

    Couple pairs I have so you can see some differences, ‘92 & ‘93 I believe.

    Opinions on FS fork

    I think I've got a pair of those somewhere - not in black though and in very poor condition, in need of complete renovation. Can't recall the last time I saw an pre'93 pair that didn't have significant paint loss/corrosion. The next generation was a little better for longevity as it's basically...

    The fork of choice has arrived, period / build correct Marzocchi XC600. Advertised as an XC500 and not working, but after a good clean up it’s in much better shape than described. There is a very slight leak on one leg, and the stickers have had it, so it will still get a full overhaul at some...

    The ugliest Marin alive

    Many of the used bikes I've bought over the years seem to be adorned with all that 'stuff'. I take great pleasure in removing it all and making the bike look normal once again :)
