Marin team 95?

Marin Retro Mountain Bike, Team Marin Lightweight frame mid 90s | eBay

Excellent Marin, Team Marin. Marin Lite stem& Mari Lite bar ends. It is a great rideable & collectable retro bike that is getting rarer & harder to find.

Nobody bidding on this? Is child size, but still a nice bit of kit.

Child size? Too big for me

Hadn't seen this before but looks lovely so have put a cheeky bid in! Thanks for the heads up.

1995 Team Marin. Not a Team Issue.

Thanks. Turns out I was ignoring Tootyreds posts. Unintentional finger slip. Nice bike. Looks intact. Anyone know are these painted or plated?

Kinda odd this one. Seems like a 95 team, no debate. But it has 94 team bits bolted on. Stem/cranks/bars. 94 head badge too.
The finish, by rights, is a slightly champagne silver painted, just a hint of a shine but this seems kinda glossy. Maybe just lacquered/polished/camera illusion.

Edit..

Had another look, it has round bottle bosses. Making it a 1994 with 95 decals.
Serial number will be similar to below if 1995.

Models changed in april bitd....not jan 1st. So a 94 model can have a 95 stamp.

This is an odd one - I had a 94 Team BITD and it looked just like this (when it arrived) but it was XT v-brakes. No roller on the stem, and I don’t recall a canti stop on the rear. So if this is a late (95) frame why the LX (?) cantis with fuselage hardware (I.e. they don’t look like retrofit after squeaky V frustration)?
Either way - nice bike, tempted to relive my 20s
