1997 Marin Bear Valley

[ratbane]

Picked this up hankering back to my first MTB, (a 93 BV SE). Triple butted Tange.

15.5" Frame. All original, bar a 517SUP rear rim. Think it's 97, but if anyone knows better???

Nice looking bike. I think it's the black version of the 98 model. See blue one here http://www.bikepedia.com/QuickBike/Bike ... &Type=bike

Nice to see a smaller size one for a change. I thought Marin measured c-c, making this a 15.5?

Yeah, like that. Would change the RSTs though, what are they 281s? Would rather rigid or if you have the cash, bombers (Z2s).

Original RST 381SMs I believe. Just sold some nice Z2 BAMs .

15.5" she is, and looks like '98 as Anthony says.
