It’s the ultra lite prestige the same as the team issue mate.

Was the team issue heat treated and team wasn't?

 

[Matttymm]

I don’t think so. I think they were both the same frame just that one said “Team Issue” and the other “Team Marin”

I know there is a lot of opinion on this probably but for me the 1994 frame was their best steel frame as it moved away from the nickel plating that attracted all the rusting issues.

The 1995 frame wasn’t as nice IMO.

Different thumbies. The ones I had on were beauties. The ones I have now are still very nice but not as mint.

Wasn’t it just that the Team Issue had XTR and the Team had DX/XT?
Nice frame by the way

You are pretty much right, although the Team Issue had a different stem and also the Titec titanium handlebar as opposed to the Marin lite.

Wheels were the same.
