Marin Indian Fire Trail 1994(?)

[Muirwoods94]

Picked this IFT up today from a lovely chap in Liverpool. I'm impressed after the initial inspection. It's in great condition and a testament to the previous owner who has clearly looked after it from new.

Assume it's '94. Can anyone confirm?

I have some plans to change some things. The wheels and tyres are not original but he provided the original wheels with the sale.

So tyres and seat will be changing after a big clean, polish and fettle.

Forks seem pretty good. Although I've never seen Manitous in the flesh so I don't know what they should be like. But they work, but might need a service as they just compress up when I get on and don't bounce out again.

I'm tempted to change the vbrakes to cantis. I think it looks a bit awkward currently.

Sure thing. Fork decals or frame decals?

It says MJ4, must mean '94

Frame decals mate the Marin and Indian fire trail one and the flag ye it's a 94 mate looks really mint the forks aren't original or brake callipers pedals and I not sure if it was lx or xt parts but it wouldn't take much to put it back to factory but it looks nice as is I with you over the v brakes someone was selling a blue Marin set on here they look good on it cheers
