thanks for the link. Ive always been a fan of the bikes but ashamedly had never looked into their history. Can safely say Ive learnt a fair bit from that site

Interesting that there's no mention of the iconic zolatone years at all - Marin's heyday for many of us

What happened to 1988 !

A cracking year in terms of their bike range and the first proper year they were bought into the UK. I've never seen the 1988 catalogue ...not even sure one exists. :cry:

I've not seen this before. Very interesting. Thanks for posting.

Could do with a bit more info in places - for instance the relationship with Doug Bradbury and Manitou is a bit glossed over on the FRS section.

..the lack of some detail adds to the mystery and allure of Marin!
