hi, I've been an avid browser/reader on this site since last year...I got this '91 team marin last summer, this site was a great inspiration for getting me into retro bikes...
its mostly same spec as the one in the 1991 US catalogue, but there are some parts that are slightly different, i'm not sure why.(the original owner doesn't remember anymore)
some parts that differ are;
front piranha tire instead of rockstar
marin chainstay guard (currently wrapped with lizard skins) instead of xt sharkfin
araya rm 17 instead of rm 20s
odi grips
the bike is in very good condition ,the color is still very bright, I kept the marin seat and replaced it with a turbo.
there are a few dot size paint chips im thinking of touching up with nail polish or testors...
i'll give it a good cleaning and planning to keep it as it is...it rides really smooth.
the neon is a bit hard to capture.
here are some pictures...
thanks!
