marin

First post here so hello 👋🏼 I’m looking for a 19” early steel Marin. I like the look of the black and orange 1992 Pine Mountain and the black and silver ‘93 but I’m open to any of the nicer Tange steels frames really. Ideally a complete bike and happy to restore if needed. Budget up to £300...

Hello all, The time has come to sell up my mothers Marin Palisades MTB. I don’t know much about these bikes but I’m sure someone on here does, offers over £100 will be considered. I’d like the bike to go to a good home with someone who will restore and look after it. I’ve attached some...

Hi all, First up, not really a mountain bike. But it's definitely not a road bike. Given it's 90's, steel and has big tyres I made a call and shared it here :) Introducing my ‘96 Marin Stinson, rescued from the scrap heap and reimagined into the gravel / adventure / monster cross / fun on two...

This bike marks firsts for me - It's the first I've owned since middle school (some GT BMX), the first I've purchased myself, the first I (will) have built, the first mountain bike I've owned etc... This was initially spurred on by the need for transport while I'm away for work. Over the...

Hello again. Long story short in 2010 after about 10 years of not riding I bought a bike from this very forum, a Kona AA. Was a lovely retro ride that sadly was stolen just 3 days after purchase (https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/large-20-complete-bike-up-to-%C2%A3150.109924/). This made me...

In spring 2021 I was happy to get one of the 1993 MARIN Pine FRS frame sets. Over the last 2 years, the two FRS models of that year have become very very rare I reconed. However, I am parting with it because I have reached the point on my pile of great retro frame set projects where I need to...

Hi everyone, I need some help with some forks that are jammed on my Marin Pine Mountain, I think I may need a cheap replacement because when I took out the spring it was covered in metal filings. Can anyone help me with a cheap replacement of any kind please. Thank you all in advance.

hey guys, up for grabs is a lovely Marin Indian Fire Trail complete bike, it was ridden only a few times, almost no signs of use. Best from Marin in Aluminium back then. Price: 450€+ shipping (from Austria)

Hi, I wanted to show you all what I picked up yesterday, is this original any idea of the year? Do you have any suggestions what to do to it. I plan to fix the spokes and overhaul but have been out of the bike scene for a long time, got this because I used to have one.

Evening all, I have been given this Marin bike. Can’t see a specific model on the frame but it is shimano 21 speed xtr with pace kevlar rc-35 forks. I was just going to scrap the bike but a few people have said that these retro bikes might be worth something, especially the from forks. The bike...

Really don't see many of these around at all. Grey velatone paint is immaculate, needs fettling. Exage 400 groupset. Really good cruising bike, canal or gravel. This bike can handle extra width of tyres.. required. Shimano silent clutch rear hub.. silently does the job. Restomod. .. Worth £90...

Calling early Marin fans.. can anybody give an accurate original component spec for an 89 BV? I picked one up locally recently and I’m assuming a mix of Mountain LX, DX and Mavic/XT is a fair way from standard.. Also any catalogue pics or similar would be great to see. Thanks in advance

I've just picked this up because; 1. It was cheap 2. It was in my size 3. It was local It has 700c wheels and I optimistically wondered if it could be entered into this months BOTM. I've since realised that I won't be able to fix it up in time or to the required standard. But it does beg the...

Could anyone help me figure out which model/year of Marin Mtb this is, I bought it secondhand in the mid 90’s. It doesn’t have any name on the cross bar, but has a quicksilver logo next to the Marin logo. It has Shimano Deore XT throughout. I’m hoping to sell it because it’s kinda wasted sitting...

So I bought this bike a while ago for I was after a solid retro MTB frame for a winter project. The plan is to upgrade and install various new parts from the ground up including new drivetrain forks headset BB bars wheels brakeS etc basically I will be getting rid of the following and wondered...

Hey guys! I am currently completing my full set of 1993 year MARIN decal sets. I focus on high quality (and very high accuracy!) vinyl cut sets. I do not (yet) offer printed foils for "Afterburner" decals, american flags or other frame decals on the Marin models. They will follow during the...
