Marin Bikes was one of the first companies to produce high-quality production mountain bikes. The bike maker was founded in 1986 in Marin County, California, where mountain biking was born. The company was quite successful and expanded its line. By the early 1990s, Marin was producing titanium full-suspension mountain bikes, hybrid and road bikes. The company also makes women-specific and children's bikes.

54cm Marin Four Corners touring bike. New, $1,100 Sale, $769.00!
54cm seat tube x 53.5cm top tube.

Here's what Marin has to say about its Four Corners touring bikes: The Four Corners is built for the adventure rider looking to explore deep off of the beaten path, sleep outdoors, and be ready for whatever pavement, dirt road, or light singletrack is around the next corner. The heads-up bar position and generous braze-ons that make it possible to live on the bike for days at a time are equally at home on the daily commute.

The Specs:

• Chrome-Moly steel frame & fork, disc brake compatible. Made in Taiwan.
• Chainstay spare spoke holder, 3 bottle-cage mounts, pump peg.
• Tektro cantilever brake calipers with Tektro R200A brake levers, and Tektro RL 721 cross levers.
• FSA Orbit MX headset, FSA Vero 31.8mm bar, Marin OS stem.
• WTB Lazer V Comp saddle with chrome-moly steel rails
• Marin 27.2, 2-bolt seatpost.
• Shimano Sora FC-M430/431 crankset, 175 mm arms with 26/38/48 chainrings. The 26 tooth ring is capable of being replaced with a 20t.
• Shimano cartridge BB.
• Deore 36h disc-compatible hubs laced to Alex TA-20 rims with Wilderness Trail Bikes stainless-steel spokes.
• Vittoria Randonneur tires 700x32, Presta Valve tubes.
• Shimano barcon (fingertip) shifters, XT rear derailleur, Tiagra front derailleur.
• Shimano HG 53 chain, HG30 9-speed 11-32 cassette.

Wide gearing, sturdy wheels, fingertip shifters. Do you hear the road calling?

Front view. Cantilever brakes actuated by either drop levers or top levers. Lots of adjustment available on the steering tube to raise or lower the bars. You will be comfortable on this well-thought-out bike.

From the back. Powerful cantilever brakes and wide-range gears.

This bike will accept disc brakes. Note the braze-on attachment near the bottom of the fork. The paint job is an interesting green-to-brown iridescence that changes with the viewing angle.

That odd-looking braze-on near the bottom of the seat stay is the rear attachment for a disc brake. Note the strong socket rear dropout and the seat-chain-stay reinforcement.
