Help with Marin frame numbers please!

Re: frame numbers for early marin

Hi, can I add to the frame number conundrum please? I have;

M904051570, which I had thought to be an early Bear Valley, but this doesn't seem to tally. Zolo coating and 400LX etc do seem to back this up tho.

M31BE0224, which appears from catalogue pics to be a '91-'92 Eldridge

M54GAC127, a Bear Valley SE

I'm not trawling for info particularly, but I thought these numbers might be of use to somebody

Re:

I too would like to ask about a frame number, it's from my Sausalito, the bike looks Early 90s, and the frame number is:
MA1CE0003.

This is my second Sausalito and a year or two different from my first, sadly the first one was stolen and I never made a note of its frame number

Re: Marin serial numbers........

so i read what everyone said in regards to interpreting serial numbers. manufacturing plant, year, month, etc.
but i have an anomaly. I have a Marin Rocky Ridge. SER# ME2K40118. no mistakes. 1992? November? From what i read, they were made from 93-95? Whats the "E" after the M represent? Inquiring minds have to know!! please help, i'll be eternally grateful!! P.S.- the bike is a beautiful survivor!!

I bought it a few months after buying a new Toyota Corolla Gxi in 1992 so unless the 4 is a 1 ??
