1991 Marin Bear Valley

stumpjumper1990 · Nov 9, 2011

I just brought this one home tonight. Pick it up on the way home from work after I saw it on marktplaats.nl last weekend. It looked mint and fresh out of the catalogue. Because of the colors I just had to have it: NEON RASTA!!

I will call it Lucky Dube!

Here are the first pics. It is completely original. Will inspect it better tomorrow to see if it is!

Simply stunning... showroom fresh paint and tyres by the looks of it...

Is it pre-zolatone tho?? making it pre 91??

And what's that rear brake-boster type thing on the seatstays??

Well, the last picture is from the 1991 catalogue......

That thing on the seatstay is a lock....

Will remove it tomorrow!

Thats a very nice bike, and what fantastic condition!.

:shock: Cor, that's tidy! Wish I could find a 1993 Clockwork in that condition.

Didn't Marin have different colours in different countries? Would explain the lack of Zolatone. Every UK BV I've seen up to 1992 has had black as the base colour.

Wow, what an amazing find.

Love those colours, makes my '94 look more drab than a very drab thing

I love it! I saw one or two of them here in Munich before but the colours were badly faded. Great find.

Does anybody knows if they were produced in Taiwan?

I missed the neon BOTM with this one...... :cry:
