I think Marins of this area are incredibly under rated, a good solid nice riding frame with some nice welding for the most part, with a good middle of the road componentry base they are a good get around with a good bit of longevity to them.
From what I can tell, the frame was white. The frame is definitely quality work, light weight with nice welds.
I know the components aren't high end, but they are decent, and don't appear to be badly worn.
It has a U brake on the rear and cantis on the front. Not sure yet if I'm going to clean them up or replace. The rest of the drive train will be cleaned and re installed.
