Well have finally got round to doing this bike, only 5 years! The frame has been blasted and powdercoated (very close match) as it was quite rusty after being used commuting and riding for nearly 20 years. Everything was stripped down, rear rapid-fire gear selector rebuilt as it was broken. New...

Thats great thanks. I need new cranks and BB as they both were siezed and are now damaged, chainrings have gone as well. I want to keep it as standard as poss so will look at getting second hand cranks (hope for STX SE). I ridiculously thought everything was standard!

Hi I stumbled on here by a complete accident. I came to the conclusion that I should do up my '94 Marin Bear Valley SE and was searching for a right hand shifter/brake lever when I saw a link to this site. I was amazed at how many people still have the old bikes and how good they look when done...
