HiHi, sorry to jump into this thread. I just came into possession of a lovely 94 Bear Valley SE - same as yours, sans seat post.
However I cannot figure out what inner diameter the seat tube has. Caliper gives me 26.4 to 26.6mm variations on the measurements depending on how I measure it and the time of day. Would you be so kind as to measure yours? That would let me know which diameter I should buy to restore my BVSE to its former glory - just like yours. Amazing job by the way, very inspirational! Danke!
No problem Thanks for positive comments. I replaced the original seatpost like for like for a longer version as the original had been trimmed down. Both posts are 27.0mm Worth checking that the inside or your seat tube has no rust/corrosion or build of general dirt and grime which would give you a false vernier caliper reading
