Oi, I have the same frame haha! Your build is ruddy awesome.
What does the sticker on the fork say, if I may ask? Mine's half scratched, couldn't see the number below Rockstar.
vpCogworks-
@vp1337 It just says "Cro-Mo". Mine is a 1994 BV SE -in 1994, this model and down used the basic CroMo Rockstar fork, the higher models used either the 750g Lite or 690g UltraLite forks. Yours looks like a 1992 with the small Bear Valley SE decal on the top tube, in which case it would have come with the 750g fork. Mine had big letters right along the top tube - see photo below of when I first got it, it was original with full Shimano STX Special Edition group (only made in 1994). I've also attached a 1992 BV SE catalogue shot.

1994 Marin Bear Valley Special Edition - now with a mix of low mileage 90s components, cheapo risers and fatter tyres. Guards need flaps.
