1997 Marin Indian Fire Trail (retro compliant?)

Seeing as this bike has now passed the ten year old mark I thought I'd post it up and see what people think. Apart from the forks (2000 Mars 1 as the original Spyders seized solid) and the headset, all the parts are original with a full M737/739 group including hubs. I ain't seen many Alloy Marins from this era knocking about (don't know if thats a good or bad thing!) so any feedback or pictures would be appreciated.

I've owned a few, most recently a 2006 IFT. I also have a '97 Eldridge Grade with a Tange Cr-Mo triple butted frame. The EG is a great frame
with fine attention to detail. It's now used for commuting duties. Old school Marin's are very underrated I think.
