First post. Thanks for the add!
i just picked up a 1990 Marin Muirwoods on local Craigslist. My only other bicycle is a GT fixie 29er Peace model. I had been looking for another cromoly vintage bike...with extra gears.
I love the simplicity of fixed gears but I want to do some rides with a buddy.
both bikes are pictured.
My question is this: when did Marin go to disc brakes? Like I wish this one had!
I had no idea that the bike was this old. I just loved the geometry of the frame, and the cool factor too. The guy selling it bought an unpaid storage unit and this was in it. He was asking $250. I offered $200 and he bit.
Last question, how would I find out what the original sticker price was?
thanks!
