Hi there Thanks for getting in touch. I didn't actually...we decided to keep them! I've completely stripped, cleaned and serviced the bigger bike just a couple of weeks ago. It looks fantastic - didn't overdo it, it's got a fab late-80s patina. Starting on the smaller bike next week, and...

Re: I think I've PM'd you back but not sure if it's gone for some reason?? If it doesn't reach you the answer was "no" basically...sorry Cheers G

Hi there Thanks for your reply. FAB to still be getting replies to 3-year-old ad! Yes, I do still have the 17" bike (and also the 19" bike). They're still in the shed. Remember Marin sizes were weird when they first introduced the sloping tube though. As far as I recall you took 1.5" off...

Re: Would you be interested in a 100% original, one owner from new, 1989 one? It's the shiny black paint, not matt. Has also got Biopace which I think was dropped by 91? Mountain LX gear. Frame, forks, wheels totally straight, only had light use but has a few scratches and most chrome...

Re: Hello Retrobike. This is my first post on the forum. I couldn't believe that someone has recently bought two 1989 Marin Bear Valleys. I was pleased to read from the replies that they are still highly regarded and sought after. I bought a black Bear Valley for my 30th birthday in 1989...
