Marin from mid 90’s

[Fuzzbucket]

Could anyone help me figure out which model/year of Marin Mtb this is, I bought it secondhand in the mid 90’s.
It doesn’t have any name on the cross bar, but has a quicksilver logo next to the Marin logo.
It has Shimano Deore XT throughout.
I’m hoping to sell it because it’s kinda wasted sitting in my garage.

From that one picture it looks as though you've got a mixed collection of years there, so would need to see the frame number on the underside of the bottom bracket to determine which frame it is. Quicksilver logo nothing to do with it.

The main frame appears to be a '92/'93 Indian Fire Trail, but you've got forks, stem, and groupset parts from a '95 Indian Fire Trail.

Rims are non-standard, but are desirable sunset Mavic 217's by the looks of them.

More pics please

Wow, thank you so much, that’s great info.
The frame number is M33AAC066

I'd confidently say the frame is a '93 Indian Fire Trail, and that the rest (well most of it) comes directly from a '95 model Indian Fire Trail.
Looks as though you have an LX rear hub and White Industries front hub - which again is correct for '95, but the rims have been changed, not a bad thing or uncommon.
Middleburn big chainring by the looks of it, so the original ring has been replaced, again not uncommon.

Appears to be in good order, should be worth/fetch £150-£250 despite being a bit of a 'mongrel'!

Wonder how an old frame ended up with new parts, or how new parts ended up on an old frame? A warranty that saw a damaged '95 frame transplanted on to a spare '93 frame perhaps...

Thank you again for your time and expertise, I really appreciate it.
Cheers

Nice bike, keep it and ride it!

You'll get much more money if you break it for parts. Those rims are rare now, the rockstar forks are amongst the best rigid forks and the WI cranks although sugino made are loved by the new age 26aintdead hipsters.

I spy an "A Pro" dropout... was the IFT not USA made?

Too true, I might just do that, and keep it.
