Marin Bear Valley M83CAC067

Oh and obligatory Marin serial number: M83CAC067 Although the 8 is confusing, as I don't think that corresponds to a Bear Valley....

Picked this up off eBay recently - very pleased with it. I believe it's a 17" frame from 1993 - and has Exage LT throughout with Araya RM20 rims. The Marin Lite tires (possibly original and with no perishing visible) were flat, but once those were pumped up it was ridable. Gears were still...

My 86 MF men's Courier had cow horns "out of the box".... Lovely thread though.

Re: Various QR's, seat binder bolt/clamps, Ritchey grips, I have PM'd you back - but it's stuck in my outbox for some reason.

I'm a bit late to the party, but that looks simply stunning. Love the Mavic stuff.... Wonderful!

Thanks for the info ref the pedals. Gives me an option as I'm looking for something for my Courier.

Re: Lovely! looks brilliant. Can I ask what pedals you have used?

And managed to get hold of a NOS Epoch Mori headset. It looks unfathomably complex!

Ok so a little update. The frame/forks are back from Bournes in Birmingham - they did a good job in my opinion. They masked the threads and bosses/steerer tube etc (although I did check first) and turned it around in a couple of days. Would definitely use them again. Friendly as well. The colour...

Re: Re: Haha! Yes, your does look in similar state to mine! You've done an amazing job it has to be said - well done. If I can get halfway close then I'll be happy. I do like the blue you have used though - is that a RAL colour? I found someone else on here with mine...
