1997 Mount Vision

Re:

Sure that's a 97 look different to the ones I've seen?
Looks more like my 98 but the rear end is wrong and the wrong colour. Has discs as well?


Anyway, what's the spec rundown?
 
I love these. I had one in the green colour. With a matching disc swingarm. Regret selling it. Even though I sold the frame and forks to get a Pace Rc200.
 
Easton Stem
Shimano XT Front derailleur
Shimano XT 9 speed rear derailleur
SRAM 9 speed cassette
Shimano XT Crank
Mavic Crossride Wheels with Velociraptor tyres
Rock shox SID XC dual air front forks
Hope M4 200mm Front Disc Brake
Hope M4 180mm Rear Disc Brake
Fox Float RL Rear Shock
Rear Swing arm from a later 2002 rift zone as the original swing did not have disc mounts powder coated red to match the front forks
 
Ah so a half and half then with modern 'hotrod' parts on.

Looks like it might actually work :) (only <=1997 being the front triangle ?>


My 98 frame is just stuck in the loft doing nothing no inspiration for it and the shock is the original Vanilla R, just cannot justify the 100 quid+ a new decent shock cost. I'd modernise it if building as it's all modern stuff to me.
 
Marin replaced a lot of the original swing arms under warranty as they had cracked. My replacement was a big red one with a (non standard) disc mount.
