Ok so were saying its an 88 Pine Mountain, with Team Marin decals.
So would this of been done at the factory or dealer?
Also where would the frame been made? Taiwan?
If restoring, would you restore as is, or back to Pine Mountain? Dont know a lot about early Marins.
At the end of the day, it’s your choice: these were prolly made in Taiwan (there is a thread on here about frame numbers and the first letter denoting the factory: Ms are Taiwan, early ones sometimes have A’s - I don’t know where that corresponds to.)
They’re built out of out of quality tubing, but aren’t Uber rare or sought after. I had one and sacreligiously coated it green with leaf stencils; other people have done some lovely original colour scheme builds, and you can get the original decals. I’d say go original 1988 or how you want it depending on how you’ll use it. It’s a nice score.
