Hello all
I have only just joined the forum so feel free to move this topic if it is in the wrong place.
I recently purchased this frame, see attached and am in the process of restoring the bike using some of my old trek 7000 parts. I am uncertain of the exact model as the front is a shoreline trail but I was not sure if the rear was too. it seems a bit newer but I could well be wrong. It is aluminium as well as the front frame. with no disc mount only v brakes studs
The number on the BB is 9934EE but I am unsure how this reads as a year and place of manufacture. If anyone can shed some light on this I would be very grateful. Currently it is stripped to bare metal and waiting to be painted.
I am thinking of changing the rear shock and albeit the current shock is 183mm center to center closed and 200mm fully extended I think I read on another page of the forum that they are supposed to have 165 mm shocks fitted
any help identifying it would be great and if anyone had a schematic of the rear suspension that would help a lot. So far I have not been able to get anything from Marin regarding the rear suspension installation. Currently I have a selection of washers and some aluminium spacers but I am unsure of the spacer requirements between frame and swing arm.
Thanks in advance
