Nearly completed the restoration on my 1998 Marin Mount Vision (thought it was 1997 until very recently). Looking at replacing the front mech for a 1999 Shimano FD-M750 which are easily available on Ebay. The original mech fitted is an FD-MC14 Alivio!!! :shock:

Can you run a 9 speed front mech with an 8 speed chain & chainrings?
