Hi

Just got hold of a marin frame which is nickle plated but has 94 decals

which model is this...frame number M13CAC009

Got the frame with a set of manitou magnums for £21

Regards
 
Frame number : M13CAC009

The M is the factory. M is Marvel, F is Fairly and T is Ti sports

1 is the model number.

1 Team Issue
2 Team Marin
3 Pine Mountain
4 Eldridge grade
5 Bear Valley
6 Muirwoods
7 Palisades Trail
8 Bobcat Trail

4 is the year ending number. That would be 1993.

CA is month and date code, not really relevant!

C is the size centre to centre.

A is 14 inches
B is 15.5 inches
C is 17 inches ( this makes it 19 centre to top)
D is 19 inches
E is 20 inches

009 are production numbers that are factory use only

Re:

That does indeed denote a 93.. nice!

I saw the one on ebay, good luck with the cleaning up ;)

The only difference i could tell with my old one was the rear dropouts were slightly smaller on the '94 model.
