Marin 1994 model: "Zig Zag Trail" or "Team"...?(Germany)

Re: Marin 1994 model ? "Zig Zag" (Germany)

It looks lmore like the decals said Team Marin than Zig Zag Trail to me, but that's the only way to tell, so a better copy of that third pic would be the answer. Fortunately too small for me, else I would be very tempted.

Zig Zag was a Euro only model right? It’s in the archive.

That's right, pretty much identical to the Team except didn't offer the option of suspension forks.
 
Can’t figure this German eBay: doesn’t seem to be a button to buy it or bid.

I’m wanting 17.5” but this could be 19” what do you think? Also paint pretty scarred isn’t it.

Someone who’s not using a tiny phone help me out here!
 
Looks like a 17-1/2" to me.
Here's the fronts of a 17-1/2" and 19", differance in headstock length is clear.

"Ebay kleinanzeigen" is a site for ads like Gumtree

I contacted the seller, he promised me a pic of the serial number today.
And...

I have more answers...

Take my frame number

M74HAB182

The M is the factory.

M is Marvel, F is Fairly and T is Ti sports

7 is the model number. Exclude the Ti bikes and work down the list eg.

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 1994.

HA is month and date, but you will need the Enigma machine to decode these. Not really relevant either!

B is the size centre to centre.

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

182 are production numbers that are factory use only, and again require the Enigma machine.
