Team Marin experts?

[winjohn]

I have just bought I Team Marin, full XT groupset except Logic cantis, rockstar rigid forks and I am trying to find what year it is. These are the serial numbers. There is an "F" before the numbers on the left. Tried looking up Marin serial numbers but got lost.

Thanks

2005 team marin built in the fairly factory...

is it a 19" c to c large size too?

Thanks that's brilliant, the guys said he thought he bought it new in about 2000 but I thought it looked older. Said he paid £1100 for it.
Unfortunately he snapped a crack so had these horrible things fitted but I do have a Deore set that I think will work.
Yes it is large or maybe XL it is 20"
Here it it in all its glory...I've always been on the look out for a Team Marin but this is the first I've ever spotted on my local Gumtree in over ten years.

He meant 1995.

Looks like I reached the max for photos so here is the overall shot.
Funny thing is I rad it as 1995

I've had two of them, over 15 years or so.
Just about the best tubing on the planet.
It was top of the league in 1995 as the team issue was dropped for that year. Hence F1.
There is some anomalies re: model and serial numbers but you are safe here. Its a non picky and tunable model. With 27.2mm seatpost, 1.1/8" headset etc....
The original cranks were sugino made white industries. Real bad luck snapping those, probably flogged.
Rear hub will be LX 56...Something.

Enjoy for now, post here is you need owt else. Cheers.

I've not looked into hybrid bikes. Seems the numbers are somewhat different.
