Bit of a backstory: I bought this bike and set it up with high upright handlebars with the intention of having my dad ride it. Unfortunately he had a significant health scare very recently (still not recovered) and I realized that he's not really going to use it. Plus he's got some 90's Rocky Mountain which he won't let go of, and I thought, "well, if he's happy with this, I'm happy too." So, I tinkered a bit and tried to find a way to have this fit me but I could not get comfortable myself on it (I'm an 80 PBH, standover on this is 81-82, and the reach still felt a bit long for me even with a short stem and compact bars - and I'm on a 51 in both a Sam and Hunqapillar and don't feel I would have a need for it even if it did fit). So, I thought someone here might appreciate. 

Hopefully it is ok to post this here and even if no interest, I'm hoping someone will find that the bike is at least cool to look at. It really is nice and makes me wish I was taller and longer limbed.

Very cool.  I love purple bikes and I remember one like this several years back on Bikeforums.  I think it was taller though, as I recall considering it, but the bike sold before I could finalize a deal.  

Good luck with the sale.

Best regards,

Matt

Yep, the other was larger, but these are pretty cool, imo.

A bump for Damien! I have a c1999 Marinoni Turismo that has taken me to the tip of South America and much more recently at 20 day, 2600km tour through Alberta and BC. Mine, curiously, had an SLX sticker (not SPX) and I suspect it was a special order, but it came to me used in 2008 and I never met the first owner. Superb road manners, great for rando rides and light or loaded touring. Mine just takes 35mm tires under fenders and as a sealed road tourer, it's hard to imagine a better choice.

Ian - thanks for the bump! Really cool to hear (and see!) where your Marinoni has been - Alberta/BC tour looks amazing

Hi all, dropping to $1,100 USD!

Thank you,

Damien

[Damien]

Hi all,

I know this has been sitting there for a bit but thought I'd try and bring it back up to the top. Any interest in this at $1,000 USD? I'm happy to throw on the original 3TTT bars/stem if you so desire as well. Anyways, let me know if any questions or interest. My 5 month old's diapers are getting expensive!

Thanks,

Damien

It's the original adventure bike for a spot of viaduct camping in Baja California! Cactus thorns notwithstanding.

I love my '83 Marinoni, especially as it fits 35s under short reach brakes.  Made for Margaret van den Bergh, as attested on the fork crown :).

Looks oddly cosy?

[Damien]

Will, I'd love to see shots of your '83 Marinoni!

[Will Boericke]

Trying to find good ones.  This one is not :)

Hi all,

Pretty big price drop on this. Looking to get $1100 CAD net to me. Considering how favourable the US dollar is to the CAD I hope this is more compelling for the group.

Thanks!

Damien
