Help identifying this Marin?
Marin Commuter Hybrid Bike 19 inch frame vintage all works great!
Frame looks almost identical to my '95 Marin Bear Valley SE, but seller says there is no model name on the top tube (and my Bear Valley has all STX components, which this bike does not appear to).
Any educated guesses?

The rear derailleur appears to be Altus c20, while the crankset appears to be Tourney. That would place it circa 1993. The lowest Marin I'm aware of from this period was the Stinson, but this appears to be a step lower than that.

[MENTION=20650]T-Mar[/MENTION] From at least 93-96 looks like Sausalito was consistently that color, so good guess. Maybe some of those parts aren't original. Thanks for your help.
