Recently updated my 1995 17.5" Team Marin from 8 speed to 9 speed system. I bought it new in 1999 from a local bike shop and upgraded after the 2011 fall season. All the parts are Shimano XT except for White Industries front hub. All the XT 9 speed components came from my 2002 16.5" Litespeed Pisgah. At the same time Pisgah was updated with new XT 10 speed Dyna system. Team Marin is done. Just waiting for XT V-Brakes to arrive for my Pisgah. Pisgah became too small for my 5'11" son so he will be getting the updated Team Marin and I will be reclaiming my Pisgah.
