Marin Bear Valley SE

Gilbz67

Retro Newbie
Guys, I have a totally original Bear Valley SE circa 1993 that has been in the garage for around 27 years, it is in pretty good condition for age, wondering if it is actually collectible and approx value. Will post some pictures, thinks it had some additional extras fitted when new can’t remember what these were possibly wheels, T6 bars. Still rides better than any other bike I have tried.

Welcome, plenty of people like Marins, great riding bikes.

From just the pics you have posted i would say around the £100-120 mark. I can see rust patches on frame and stem so if you post it up in the 'what is my xyz worth' thread with details and pics of any damage, wear etc you should get a better idea of value.
 
Re:

Lovely :cool:

When Marin produced quality from the factory in Taiwan before it, very sadly, burned down.
There's something about the 'understatedness' of them.
I bought my 95 Pine Mountain new as a frame and forks.When it was delivered I thought the box was empty :LOL:

Welcome to the forum.
