Indian Firetrail Questions (90's bike)

[Kirty1972]

Hi,

I have a Marin Indian Fire Trail that has been sat in the garage collecting dust that I have owned since the early 90's just wondering how I find out what year the bike was made?

I used it in a charity bike ride around 5yrs ago but since then it has seen limited use unfortunately

A quick look through and it looks like a '95

1996. Very, very similar but 'Indian Fire Trail' is written in the font used in '96. The '96 catalogue has a clearer shot of that font than the '95 does of that year's font.

Just after some advise on how you would sell the type of bike shown above (I am the original poster) kind of depresses me seeing the bike just sat in the garage and think it may be time to let it go to a new home, the only thing I have personally changed on the bike was the peddles and tyres as put some road tyres on the bike for my charity bike ride. Think the original tyres are still in the garage.

Not sure if their are bike shops that buy these bikes or how you would post up to sell online as I am clueless on bikes and only bought this as it came up for sale when I was young and had money to burn

Any assistance would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

UK islanders are CRAZY for Marins. You will sell this quite good.

Post it up here with a price and length of seat tube measurement (centre of bottom bracket to centre of top tube)
