I bought this Marin in 1997

Hi all. New to the forum. Actually the only MTB I have ever ridden is this Marin I bought in the spring of 1997 from a local dealer. I did a NORBA race with it that year, and since have just ridden the heck out of it on and off the road.. I have had a few other similar bikes in passing, a neighbor gave me a GT once, another neighbor sold me a Kona once, but I just passed them on to others as I did not need more than one. I am 63 years old now and will probably ride this into my grave.

Lovely Marin!

I was about the same age as you must have been when you bought it, when I got my first MTB - another 1997 Marin - about 10 years ago. Been on plenty of adventures since.

They're cracking bikes!
