I got Team Marin frame at a yard sale and I was wondering what year it is - can you tell from the serial number? It has silver - gold metal look paint with a metal head badge and is Tange ultralight. I suspect it is a 95 or 96?!

I have a copy of the 1996 Marin collection catalogue right here. The Team Marin frame is a dark sky blue colour so I reckon yours is not a 96. Not sure what the 95's were. Good luck in your search.

You will find the (german) marin 1995 catalog here:

BTW, do you know which year is the team Marin which is pearl white, with orange logo, Columbus Custom steel tubing ? Perhaps 2001 ?

Enjoy,
Francois
