Is this a '96 or a '97 Marin Team Ti?

Bought off ebay as a '97, but I suspect its a '96. Anyone know for sure?

Finish is satin rather than polished. Looks like a Sanvik job to me, but maybe not?

what does the headtube sticker look like? frame number is printed under the bottom bracket. it will tell you what year it was built.

Hmm,

No headtube sticker or badge, but there's others missing too.

Bottom Bracket underside tells me this:

F05 LAC 004

BI 0261

and visible running under the cable guide: 50

This make anything clearer?

afaik it tells us its from 95. decals and cantilever brake cable hanger on the rear indicate that too btw.

Cheers for that - that'd tally with the satin finish too.

Is this a Sandvik built frame or not then?
