1997 Marin Rift Zone (almost as new!)

[davetronic]

Hi, I have a 1997 black Marin Rift Zone with a couple of hundred miles on it, if that. I have owned it from new, but started working overseas just after I got the bike, so it has been sat under a cover in the garage ever since. It has no dings or scrapes, etc. that I can see, pretty much as new.
I think it is a 15.5” frame and is totally original except for having a shorter stem(?) that holds the handlebars - but I still have the original also.
The full spec is at :http://www.bikepedia.com/quickbike/BikeSpecs.aspx?Year=1997&Brand=Marin&Model=Rift+Zone&Type=bike
It has all the original component documentation, bill of sale and 1997 colour Marin brochure.
I want to get back into biking, but as I’m getting on a bit, will probably go for a cross over type bike.
Can anyone advise what the bike is worth so I can advertise it for a fair price?
Cheers

Probably best put this in the official 'How much is my XYZ worth?' thread here:

Another place would be to check completed listings on ebay for an idea, although that is a remarkably clean example of that bike and should do well on price, though I really have no idea of its current worth.

Good luck!

I know a man who may be interested in those bar ends if you'd consider parting with them?

Always been a fan of these early marins, although marins in general don't seem to attract much love so it's hard to value. A very handsome bike though, I'm not going to estimate the price as I may be interested. . .

This is all I could find close to it, not exactly comparable though.

That would be me! Hell I'll take the whole bike.
