This was a '92 Marin Bear Valley SE. It was my second mountain bike (my first was a Tushingham B-52). This became my wifes, and recently became mine again. As I've already got a road bike, a 'proper' mountain bike (Sunn Revolt) and single speed, I decided this one would be someting more frivolous. So this is my fun-in-the-sun beach cruiser, to be used for riding down to the beach with my kitesurfing kit. Coaster brakes and single speed so I can use hands for holding my kite board.
This is a retro-bike and ebay bitsa (bitsa this, bitsa that). Ebay kona handlebars, coaster hub, rims, 2.4" holy roller tyres, 'dale octopus pedals, fsa chain ring, sprocket and chain device. Retrobike P2 forks, BB and cranks.
Not too sure on retrobike etiquette, but I hope doing this to a 16 year old bike isn't viewed as sacriledge!
