Oh dear, I've done it again. I've bought another MTB!!:bicycle:
Can't seem to stop since I have retired. Still I suppose I need something to do. :laugh:
This one is a Marin Bear Valley in need of a lot of TLC.
It is basically all there but the bike has not been used for a while.
Pictures will follow as I progress. :hello:

nearly bought one a year or so ago,

was in decent nick, would have been £50 or so.

Let it go as was after something to possibly use as a tourer and being a bit fernickety, would have preferred doubled up rack/guard mounts at the back. Looked like a pretty damn good bike though.
 
Mine is now a tourer (1997 version)

Sold mine a couple of years ago. T'was a 1991 model, 400lx gruppo, one of the last with the grey PTFE non stick finish.

This one is grey. I really don't know too much more about it! Brought it home but other things got in the way. Must investigate what it is I have bought.:blush:
It was so cheap I couldn't say no. :laugh:

Early 90's Bear Valley is my wife's all time favourite bike. She had one back in the 90's and rode it until it was completely knackered, she then went through a series of other bikes, including a newer Bear Valley.. no good. A couple of years ago she found another, all original on Preloved... £60!

She hardly rides it, but she knows it's there when she wants it, ahhhh happy ending.

Yes, she did ride it up and down the road in her slippers.
