Hi, I have just picked up a 1998 Marin Mount Vision frame with original Manitou forks and White industries crank. It all looks solid enough so current plan is to polish the frame and restore to catalogue spec. The big question I am hoping someone can answer is what XT groupset did it have? I am...

Just picked up a 93 Marin Indian Fire Trail and it had these Parts on it. I am hoping that someone reads this and has some information/advice about them. The rims seem to have a concave shape to them, this is consistent all around on both so I assume that this is supposed to be there. The hubs...

My wife kindly bought me a 1990 Marin Pine Mountain to keep me occupied. It had been stripped of both front and rear derailleur as well as the original breaks. It did come with a bag of bits including the original derailleurs. I did manage, through retro bike, to get replacement breaks but there...

Hi, Just picked this up yesterday from a chap who had it as a project and not enough time to complete it. He said it was a Marin East Peak. My belief is that there has been quite a few changes made. Based on pics I have seen online I think it is either a 2000 or 2001. It does have a 3x9 drive...

I recently poked my toe into the world of Marin by way of a 94 Pallisades trail. Unfortunately on stripping down I found a split in the non drive side chain stay. Whilst disappointed I thought to make the best of the situation and just get a replacement frame, all easy so far. Unfortunately too...

I hope someone can shed some light on a confusing decal on what I think is a 1998 GT Backwoods. I was looking at the catalogue spec and it clearly states 7005 frame, the decal on the bike states 6061. anybody with any idea what has happened?

Long story short my cousin needed a bike so I gave her a 96 CB I had just finished with, in return she said I could have a bike that had been sat at the back of her shed for 5-10 years and was covered in spiders. I was not expecting a great deal but it turns out it is a 1998 GT Backwoods. I...

This is my first post in very unfamiliar territory. Just wanted to say thank you to so many members for all the information I was able to find on here. I can’t in any way claim a long or lasting interest in old mtb’s but can claim a recent interest in older Claud Butler mtb’s. my story begins...
