I've just bought a job lot of bikes from a local farmer who was clearing out one of his barns. One of the bikes is a Marin Shoreline Trail which has all original parts (he assured me) but is a bit dirty (well, a lot dirty, actually). I'm not a mountain bike expert, so I'm hoping the knowledgeable folks on here can tell me a bit about it - when it dates from, is it worth restoring, etc. Looking forward to learning more about it.

Hi Voldman, welcome here, please provide some pictures, this is typical pretty helpful to date or comment on your bike.
If I'm not mistaken, the model name Shoreline wasn't used before end of nineties at all. The first one was for a full suspension bike, here is a link to the 2001 model https://bikepedia.azurewebsites.net/Quickbike/BikeSpecs.aspx?year=2001&brand=Marin &model=Shoreline Trail
If this comes close, you may better find experties in the 1998--> section https://www.retrobike.co.uk/forums/#bike-chat-1998.57

Thanks for your reply. The link you provided does indeed show the bike in question. Sorry I can't provide picture, as I am one of those strange people who doesn't own a Smartphone!!
