Marin Bear Valley SE 1996 - Nice lightweight steel frame with paint in great condition for it's age. A mix of original and retro-fitted parts making up a 3x7 drivetrain. Nice pull back bars for cruising about. STX hubs on Mavic 238 rims. Tyres hardly used, slick tread down the middle and some grip on the outsides.

Was setting it up for a friend but the frame was a bit large for them. The frame 17.5" CTC (as Marin used to measure them) or 19" CTT. The top tube is 22.5" long. I'm 5'10 and it's a good size for me... I'd say anyone from about 5'7 to 6'0 would be a good fit on this one. The saddle height was a bit lower than I'd normally have it set to ride on.

NOW SOLD

Collection from SE LDN - drop me a message if you have any questions or want to have a look.

I believe that the are Marin cantilevers. They were spec’d as OE equipment on certain years of Marins. I’m sure they were made by Tektro though.

Yeah Marin Lite Cantis - they're original spec for the bike, work pretty nicely.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
