Indian Fire Trail

[pete_27_1983]

Retro Marin ITF, exact year unknown. Good condition but could do with fully stripping etc. Saddle's a bit shabby but all as standard, Deore XT components, hubs etc, Marin Lite stem etc, Marin Rockshock fork. Unused and unloved in the garage. Any indications on value gratefully received.

Looks like a 1992 (first year IFT made). There is a "what's it worth?" thread where you should post this, but roughly 200 to 300 depending on condition.

I'm sorry, but you're incorrect, whilst the 1993 did indeed have purple fork/stem, it also had a large "Indian Fire Trail" decal on the top tube, a pinstripe detail on the fork, but no "Rockstar" decal and no black "Alcoa" decal on the seat stays. The first IFTs I saw in 1992 had purple forks and in fact I do not recall having ever seen one with green forks outside of the catalogue. That's not to say they don't exist, but I think they are much rarer than the purple fork version. Marin had something of a habit of producing mid-year variations, as has been discussed elsewhere.

Maybe it is a mid season modell.
For 1992 i only knew the green ones and they do exist in real life.
One of them is right behind me in my living room...
