Thanks for the offer, think I’ll stick with these new ones I’ve got on though. Seen a few people on here saying they like them. Finished most of the bike today, still want: some new pedals , couple of bottle cages, going to change the saddle for a fancy SQ lab one I’ve got on another bike. I...

Unfortunately I believe you aren’t allowed on the train with a bike on that day

This evenings progress

Yep the road version on the 10th September (next weekend) . I haven’t actually thought about how I’m getting home from Brighton yet so coming back off road could be a proper day out and my only option haha

Have now changed the terrible saddle.

Yeah I’ve got 36 on the front and 34 on the back. I reckon it’ll be fine

I was thinking bar ends might be a good idea, I have some Michelin country rock 1.75 tyres but maybe something even slicker would be better. Which ones do people like?

I have perhaps stupidly, definitely whilst slightly drunk, signed up to do the London to Brighton bike ride . And even more stupidly I have decided I want to do it on a 90s mountain bike and to try to build it in about a week . I also want to keep up with my mate who will be riding a proper road...

After some forks for two frames - 92 is a 19’’ black Eldridge grade (I have some for this but they are quite rusty…) and the 95 is 17.5’’ champagne-y silver Eldridge grade . Open to modern alternatives too if anyone has any , or recommendations. Cheers

Why would you relist it for £65 buy it now when it was bid up to £160!? Gutted I missed it a second time

It’s ok , I’ll hold my breathe

Yeah I would wear a mask, but Id read that you needed a proper professional sealed air fed mask for 2k stuff?

Seen the spray max 2k clear mentioned a few times in this thread, do you need a proper mask for this stuff or is it safe to do at home? I wanna redo the fluro yellow on a marin palisades trail that I did a few years ago and is now in a bad state. Was thinking white primer (Montana universal...

Oh nice. It looked really good, think it might have been a bit small for whoever was riding it judging by how high the saddle was!

I spotted this bike whilst out and about at the weekend and wondered if this was an original paint job or if it had been resprayed? The fact it’s missing the marin decal made me think maybe not original…quite a nice job if someone had done it themselves though

Does buy it now disappear if someone bids over it , or did the seller just remove the buy it now ? Like everyone here I wish I’d seen this earlier …shame he’s willing to post too (from my perspective haha) looks like it’ll go for a fair bit. I messaged him its definitely a 19” L

Thanks for the info, what size person do the three frame sizes fit? I’m wondering if the 17.5 (I’m guessing medium?) is the right size for me (5 11’’). Did marin only make 3 frame sizes?

Hope OP doesn’t mind me joining in as I have a similar question! How do marin measure frames? I’ve got a 1995 eldridge grade that I’d like to get some forks for , it measures 19’’ centre of the crank to top of the seat tube. Not sure if marin measured them like this though?
