(full/almost full bikes preferred - can't afford a project on my current income)

Casually looking for a low to mid-range early '90s bike around the LX/DX spec level I can use to scratch an itch as a beater/dirt trail bike (my Kona ended up on road bike duties - it's fantastic around town). Function preferred over form - does not by any means have to be a show winner, just period parts preferred.
I started out with Marins but after a little thought, I'll open my mind a bit.


Will consider travel for things nearby but further afield I might need delivery - I'm in Manchester. If anyone has anything slightly higher-end they'd consider swapping for a 22" 2014 Charge Plug 2, I might think about that, but I'm not too sure yet.
Anyone got anything?
 
One town over from me - but too small indeed, looks like 16"ish. There's a '95 Bobcat Trail posted that looks to be a better size, but I don't really want that - was watching it on eBay but lost interest. It went for £32, and now they want £45 on Gumtree?

Someone else is trying to sell a 16" Bobcat Trail for £189! :shock: :?: :roll:
 
could do a budget build on that Team Issue (will find Bobcat decal ;) ) a lot cheaper than that Bobcat! you'd need to find cables, saddle and post though.
 
Re:

95ish 18" Claud Butler 'Cape Wrath'? Renold's 531 tubing, original paint good, new decals, Ritchey Vantage Comp rims on LX hubs, LX mechs and canti's, XT crank, XT levers and XT thumbies, Rockshox Quadras, very tidy, ready to go. It's in Halifax, £150.

I have a 'spare' Marin Eldridge Grade in 19" flouro/ zolatone finish

Good condition, lots of refurbished bits on it. Its mostly M550 Deore LX.

It just needs wheels and cables to finish.

£85 GBP UK posted as is or £100 GBP UK posted with a set of Exage wheels and Nokian tyres plus it will be cabled up and ready to ride.
