I agree with others. £65 massive bargain. It’s a £250+ bike on any day in current condition.
First of all. Please don’t spray it. You can get replacement decals from DNFIVE or Gil. Give it a good clean and respect it’s age. Patina as long as it’s not rust is character.
1994 was in my opinion the pinnacle of Marin Bikes and this one is second only to the Team Issue in the steel range. The geometry and weight is spot on. It’s painted as opposed to coated.
The bike is light, stiff and leading geometry in the day. It’s designed for the trails.
Needs a bit of freshening up. Stick to the XT. M737. 8 speed. If you’ve got cash to splurge XTR900 as an upgrade.
Suggest some Manitou Answer 3 or 4 forks to give some comfort.
LX cranks are original though
