Patrick Moore asked: "is that 1994 Marin Team Issue titanium or aluminum?"
He then punctuated his inquiry with: "Google didn't help" It's fun to try to guess what Patrick Moore typed into Google. Was it "please help me"? Did he type "What tubing is that neat Marin on gringineer made of?" Anyway, I typed "Marin Mountain Bikes 1994 Catalog" into a search engine. The top hit was (shockingly enough) a PDF of the Marin Mountain Bikes 1994 Catalog. I flipped through that PDF and read that the 1994 Marin Team Issue is/was Tange Prestige (steel). Looking at the photos on Gringineer, I find that believable.
