Slightly off-topic but I went into my LBS yesterday and he had a very nice 'Nail Trail' in for repair.

its late 80ees for sure. ubrakes and the non matt black paint job indicate that.
exact date is hard to tell because marin catalogues from the 80ees are rare if not non existent.
 
I'm sure someone will remember it. I reckon it's 86 or 87. Marin only started in 86 and remember Joe Murray went to Kona.
 
It's a 1987/ 1988. Depending on how you view which model year things appear.

I nearly bought one in early 1988.

The Bear Valley of the same model range was black (as was the following year's) and the Pine Mountain was silver (with a lugged frame).

Liked them that year.
 
Late 1987 available, and think it was featured in the '88 brochure, and even later appeared on the backpage of '90 brochure, seen riding across South America or somewhere remote. Think that had Red forks and frame. Love the slack angles!!
