Production Year of a Marin Muirwoods

[MarinBiker]

I have a question. I maybe want to buy me a second Marin for the city. I stumbled over this Marin Muirwoods.
I would guess 1992 production year. Can anyone help me with this?
How much would you pay for it? The Lady asked 50 €?

Thanks

I'm gonna take a punt on 1991, based on the Bear Valley I've just bought and its multicoloured (European) equivalent looks very similar to that Muirwoods.

For reference my BV was £50.....

I'd be inclined to agree that it's either 1990 or 1991...

I have not seen this colour in any of the catalogues online. Did Marin have special colours for any country? (Europe, US etc.)

Not sure how many colour schemes were available for each year.......just found this on the forum - this the 1991 Muirwoods in the Zolatone paint.

Probably different colours to those we got in the UK. I'd say that's well worth 50 Euros - they're nice quality frames and ride very well for a budget buy - ideal city bike material. Agree with the above posters too - must be around 1990 or 91.

This website might help - just found it after a bit of searching for some details for my BV....

Looks like it's a '91 - the option shown in the catalogue is the neon splatter version but it looks like there is a green/white/yellow fade option too.

It's nice to see other countries paint schemes...Definately worth 50 euro.

Not sure about the reflectors or the stand though?

With those gear levers its 1990.

looks like a bargain at €50.
