Is this a 1989 Marin Muirwoods?

Could well be that the catalogue says 1989 somewhere as it's the publication date, but shows the 1990 range which might not be obvious.

Yes, I see what you mean, and it's not unusual that the catalog would come out sometime in the year prior to the model year it was advertising.

I was almost ready to sell the frame set, but after all this thinking about it, I don't think I can. The frame is good but the rest of the bike was in a rough state, and it is probably not worth sourcing replacements for the Exage Country/Trail components that are broken. I do have a complete bike's worth of 1990 and 1991 LX and 400LX parts that would fit well on the bike, I think.

Oh man, this is how another project starts....

Yep, 1989. Bought mine a few years ago in north America. Pic is from the for sale ad - bike was original with the exception of the tyres. Interesting you say the faded decals were green, I always thought they were yellow.
