ooooh, that's tempting...

1992 model. Will probably go for far too much for something with only 400LX

1990/91...

92 had silver decals and a smaller American Flag on the top tube..

91 brochure says black came with blue lugs

92 brochure shows glossy forks/stem and black crank this one has

hmmm, my 90/91 bear valley in my sig, is identical to the one on ebay.. ?? which definitely doesn't have silver decals from 92.

And the one I rode, as a kid, in 1989/1990, also had black cranks.

Only going by the 1991 brochure on here which shows totally different colours but maybe that was for the US only.

The eBay pic is pretty poor really but looks to have a smaller "Bear Valley" decal than yours.

Whichever year it doesn't make much difference to the spec. You'll just have to buy it as spares for your own and report back

My initial thought was a 1990 as it looks identical to mine. Same size too. Mine has 400lx, soon to be upgraded, but cranks are bare metal. Nice frame - very solid.

Might not go for too much.

Will make £50, maybe a bit more in this area.

I'd call it as a 91 as it looks like the seat stays are the thicker 'Afterburner' ones. Defo not 92, decals are wrong.
