Help me identify year and model of Marin

[Nel]

Hi

Can anyone assist with identifying what year my Marin is…
I have looked at the number stamped on the frame and the number is
A5 0? IE0343

I am looking to sell it and was given it in the late 90’s it has a grey frame with neon forks.

Thanks in advance

Sounds like a 1990 Marin Palisades. Like below? The grey would be a light grey textured paint called 'zolatone'/. Marin frame numbers help here https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/decoding-marin-frame-numbers.433668/

What colour are the forks and decals?

White decals = 1990, coloured = 1991.

Pink forks = Team.
Orange forks = Pine Mountain.
Red forks = Eldridge.
Black forks = Bear Valley.
Yellow forks = Palisades.
Green forks = 1991 Muirwoods.

Thanks guys the bike needs some TLC it has rust on the forks and some of the gears are not working but believe it still has some worth .. any ideas of what I should try and sell it for? I have attached a photo. Would make a good restoration project

Very nice: 1991 Palisades. £75 would be tops imo.
