96 Marin Bear Valley

Thanks. The fella I had the bike off has the original forks somewhere. He's gonna let me know if and when he finds them. If not, I'll be searching the net for a pair. What's the general feeling about putting a Girvin Flexstem on ther? I've been given one, but I think it may spoil the originality of the bike
 
Finally got round to putting some air in the forks. :oops: Sits quite nice now and rides well too. Will try it with the Rockstar forks next weekend though


 
Very nice :D Another marin fan here :cool:
I like the laid back attitude it seems to represent :? It gives the impression, to me at least, that it does exactly what it states on the tin.
Totally lacking the pretensions we see so often.

Marin Rockstar forks fitted. So out this morning for a ride

Liking the look of it more with the Rockstars on.

Mid 90s bikes seem to have got to that very simple look - understated colours, frames lightened a bit from the early 90s.

And my mates Cannondale M800

My wrists ache just looking at that - is it the angle of the photo, or something - because the rotation of those bars looks like it would be uncomfortable?
