Marin cheap

Looks like a lower end early 90s Marin, Exage crankset, probs mechs too, horrible shifters, repaint job looks o-k from distance. Rear pad alignment requires attention. Decals are absolutely risible. probably worth £25.

Paint looks original, looking closely at the headtube junctions. With the LX and Exage chainset would make it a 1993 Bear Valley SE
 
From memory I think it is Tange Double butted.
Head tube, Seat tube, bottom bracket and rear dropouts junctions are gloss charcoal rather than the silver in the other 1993 models.

Great knowledge. I agree: 93 BVSE. And you’re right again: I don’t read German, but looks like two of the main tubes are double butted. I think the triple butted version was later? 62A1DFCE-7297-405E-AD8F-80CBFC805CCD.webp
