Thank you for the info! One more question: ”made by Sandvik” means made in the USA at SST? This thread is bad. I just realised I want a titanium Marin. I hope there isn't one in my (big) size anywhere on the interwebs. :)))) Have a great day and keep doing great projects! Mx

Cronin? Weren't these named WAM Crono or something for the steel spoked version? And then I think there was a Ti one. Anyway, great wheels! Mx

Hello guys! Sorry for barging in. This is Max, long time Marin fan from Romania. I was having a silly discussion on one of the Marin FB groups, I mentioned the 1997 Team Titanium and somebody arrogantly suggested it didn't exist, so I snapped these quick pics. Funny thing is that the guy is...

It deserves some love. And maybe some nicer parts too: grips, fatter tires, silver stem bar and seatpost, plus a Ritchey seat.

Digging this one up. I just got one, after hunting for a proper Zaskar for years, but actually being too cheap to pay for a good one. Compared to what I see above, mine came with XT V-brakes and levers, GripShift SRT-800 X-Ray and an interesting Titec titanium handlebar. I put a Flite Ti, some...

I apologize. I guess I am lacking the proper context here. Sorry again. Mx

Erm, what? Why would you convert an iconic AIR fork to springs? Makes no sense, really. Get a Judy!

I vote for Manitous on Marins. And this is an obvious 1996 bike, not 1997. The 1997 was acid green. :D Very nice, love it! I am on it with my 1997 Eldridge Grade these days too. Mx

It looks 1998-ish to me, but I can't seem to find a version with yellow graphics on blue. But the details around the logo look 1998 to me. Mx

Zymotic with Pace/Raceware and Alivio FTW!

So it's you who is bragging around on FB! Congrats, brother! :D

You think? :))

This is a 1998 for sure, as in 1997 there was no LTS 3000 (names were different: LTS-1, LTS-2 etc.) and seat tubes were straight. This looks like it has a 1997 build kit on it. Maybe leftovers from the previous years? Maybe a midseason model? Who knows... Oh, and colors are most likely not RAL...

1997 for sure, but this was a Judy XC color combo, not as popular as white/red or black/yellow, but definitely out there. The Thin Air of that year definitely had them on. SL's should've been yellow with black core stickers, but who knows what special this may be... :D Mx

Re: Re: Here's one more fan! I find a lot of the older 5-arm cranks pretty ugly, especially early 90's ones in standard BCD.
