Marin Palisades Trail 1988

Retro Newbie
1988 Palisades Trail

Was originally red but I stripped it down and resprayed it in dayglow yellow and pink as the original red paint was getting a few chips. The original decals were yellow.

You can see what mine originally looked like if you click on the link below. Not my bike but exactly the same finish before I resprayed it.

I fitted the current tyres and genuine Marin gel saddle around 10 years ago and I've only used the bike a few times since. The bike has been hung on a proper bike rack over that time and not resting on its tyres.

This is an early bike - the model number stamped underneath is A8804 90883 so April '88 would appear to be the date of manufacture. Marin started up in '86 so this bike should be sought after.

Has to be worth £150 as it's very rare and is in really great condition. Could easily be stripped down again and painted as per original and then you would have an extremely desirable and useable bike.

Collection only from S.West London/Surrey
