Cheers mateReally nice job, it looks spanking
, just busy getting the cables on and it'll be done.Got the cables on and done a basic set up, i'm well chuffed with it if i do say so myself There's a still a few things to do with it before it's finished, like adding toeclips and touching up that paint loss which is really the only bad bit to the paint. Also fine tune all the gears and the brakes but so far so good

What a classy looking bike. There’s something about a Bear Valley, whatever the year, but the pre Zola stuff really does look smart. I have an 89 which deserves the same treatment, and a 92 SE in the wings. Will be time well spent when I get the chance 
This was it finished it was one of my favourite builds i've done so far, like you say there's something special about the early Bear Valley. Sadly it was to big so i ended up selling it and i believe it came back up for sale recently because it was to small for the new owner. I'm always on the look out for a 89 Bear Valley with the gold lettering.What a classy looking bike.
