Good call! Would make an excellent gravel companion too. If the bars on it are still narrowing mid 90’s bars, a set of bar ends can help get more stretched out, as would finding a set of the old “Brahma” type one piece bars.
I tried a set of modern Jones bars on a “95 Marin and they were just too wide for me aesthetically
But I was on a race team in the mid 90’s and off season long Saturday rides were “gravel rides”. Meaning we just took our mountain bikes out on gravel roads in the Oklahoma back country
