I hada Marinoni mtb back in 1988 in that very same color pattern. But the frame was a lugged Columbus OR. It came stock with a complete XT group, Tioga T-Bone 150mm stem and Ukai rims. I don't remember what tires, tough but I quickly replaced them w. Onza Porcupines. I replaced the rims with the -then- very sought after Bontrager re-rolled Mavic MA40 and a pair of Marin Rockstar tires after both Ukai were destroyed in the biggest -still to this day- crash I ever had. I still have hope that the bike is still "alive" and looking for it for a few years, now. I hope to find it and buy it back some day. I loved this bike so much, one of the best I ever had. It also had the toughest paintjob there is. Nothing could scratch it and it had a lot of details that we can also see on this example, here, like the chromed drive side chainstay and all 4 dropouts. This was my 2nd mtb, that I bought new in 1988 at the dawn of my 18th bd. It was replacing my 1st mtb, my venerable 1986 Norco Bigfoot. Thanks for the share!!!
