Re: 1988 Marin Team
Information kindly sent to me by the eBay seller on his/my Team Marin 1988:
Model year before the first Zolatones, bought from Elmy Cycles in Ipswich at an RRP of £995 - that's £2250 in today's values.
Tange Prestige.
Came in light grey/black forks with pink decals/stem/bars - see blurry picture.
Since then it was resprayed then stolen and recovered in 1991. The rear wheel had been ripped out necessitating replacement Campagnolo drop-outs by Buck Cycles in Ipswich. Repainted again in the current deep red in 1997.
Re-reading the info on this and linked to the thread, I'm inclined to favor it's an 89 model bought at the end of 88, partly because it's not lugged and it doesn't have a chainstary-mounted u-brake.
