Marin Mount Vision Pro 1999 Swingarm
- Thread starter ratbane
- Start date
they got progresivley larger ie the top box section was much larger on the third generation also disc mount. Also colours may give the game away,Mount vision rear ends were orange on early models.
The first generation swing arm had a tubular top section!!
Not a very good discription i'm affraid.

my Alpine Trail is sporting a brand new, aluminum, all box section swingarm. This is a second generation swing arm. They were doled out by ATB Sales when the original steel one bent (as they all did!). Still no disc tabs.

I disagree with the above posts, as mine has thinner tubing and more bracing, with the correct 1999 option of disc or canti mounts. See link for image from 1999 brochure.

First picture shows a first generation 1997 swing arm - the type that cracked.
Second picture show the lastest generation swing arm with disk tabs - this cost £200 and I was told there was only one more left in the country (18 months ago) after I bought this one from Marin.

So, between all these posts you have four of the five single pivot FRS swing arms. The 2000/2001 swing arm was a smaller strut design much as the 1999 one. After 2002 model year, they switched to the Quad Link design (correct me if I'm wrong).
Now, does anyone have a Fox Alps 5R, to fit a '98 model, I can buy?!
