Any idea on what this is worth? Its on sale in mt area.
Looks pretty original and in decent shape from the poor pics.
Where was this in the line up? is the frame decent?

Cheers.

Re:

The 1995 catalogue is here: http://www.retrobike.co.uk/gallery2/d/12577-2/1995.pdf. As you can see, the Bear Valley was a mid-range bike but, note, the SE version had the same frame as the higher up Eldridge Grade and Pine Mountain. They are not rare but I've only ever seen positive comments about how they ride. (They are a little on the long side, though.) Prior to lockdown, I should have thought about £100 was a fair price for one in that condition. Now, I wouldn't be surprised if the seller could get £150+. In summary, then, a good bike for riding (if the fit is good) without having to be too precious about it.
