1991 Marin Bear Valley

Seemingly original Bear Valley on ctc forum classifieds:

Usual disclaimers.

That's not a '91 unless it's had a respray. Looks around '94? Looks tidy though.

I deliberately leave such judgements to the experts!

Clearly another expert needed - I have not got the faintest idea of what that might mean!

AAhh that would be mine then

I bought it on a whim to be honest and the seller had described it as a 1991 and I didn't question it however another member in ctc thought it was 94 or later but I have noticed on the frame number it comes in like this ..Frame no is C47AAD0269704FE so I wonder if that helps to the more informed

anyway this bike is totally original even down to the original tyres,chains,gears etc (except cheap pedals and the blackburn rack) and all are working excellently. possibly change the tyres at some stage as the sidewalls look quite dry

since buying it I seem to be doing other things and so it's not being used. I bought it for 252.52 but I am only after 200.

It is a pick up only and it is in harlow essex

I have plenty of pictures should you need some more but can't figure out how to post more than one picture here

would agree. i have the 1991, and the decals look much more genuine for that year

a bit haggard but definately the original, ithink its actually the 1990, but is pretty similar to the '91

I have a bear valley with U-brakes on the chainstay. Any Idea what year it is?
