I’d like to upgrade the wheels on my modern😳bike, if anyone’s got any nice 27.5 boost wheels for general trail riding? Tubeless, ideally shimano HG so I can straight swap the 11spd cassette . Want something a bit lighter/better than the WTB ones I’ve got currently . Cheers

Hi all. I’m planning on doing a few days/maybe a week of riding in Scotland in a month or so on this bike (1992 Marin Eldridge grade - which I made a thread about building/doing the London to Brighton on https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/london-to-brighton-on-an-old-marin.469343/ ) . One...

Looking for some advice - I would like to put a disc brake on these 2001 marzocchi bombers . It appears to have some kind of double tab mount but on closer inspection I’m not sure these even have a thread!? Can you put a disc on these forks? If yes, what kind of adapter do I need? Cheers!

I got this a little while back for £15 (thanks to the eBay watch section here!) which seems a good price considering the xt derailleur and lx bits. I quite like the paint and was considering trying to restore it so it’s rideable for as little money as possible. Started stripping it off last...

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

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

Not sure of the correct term for this but I wondered if anyone could suggest a clip on cable guide/stop type thing (or something that will do the job) for a frame that doesn’t have one. It’s a 1996/97? Specialized Hardrock gx sport and I want to put v brakes on it, it just has this little noodle...

Late last night I accidentally unscrewed the band that holds this FD M550 too far and then preceded to drop it on the floor. This resulted in what I would describe as an explosion of small parts , and now I have no idea how this goes back together. Tried various combos but it was late and...

Does anyone know which way up the top bearing cage goes in a ritchey logic 1 1/8 threaded headset? I’ve attached pictures, sorry for the silly question! It’s going on a 1992 marin eldridge grade. I’m actually now thinking I might like to replace this old headset though , with something new or at...

I’m just about to start a project for a friend, he’s moving abroad and wanted me to make him something for cycling around the city. I’ve got a 1992 marin eldridge frame gathering dust so thought id use that, he doesn’t want anything too shiny which is lucky because this frame definitely isn’t...

1 1/8 quill stem for 1992 marin Eldridge grade wanted . It’s the bright fiery red colour I’m after ideally Cheers

Hello, I’m looking for a Rockshox SID , something with 80mm travel, 1 1/8, for v brakes preferably blue or black (but potentially open to all colours) to go on a 98 orange clockwork.If anyone has anything suitable they’re looking to part with, let me know. cheers!

If anyone has any suspension forks that they think might be suitable for an early marin that they’re looking to sell I’d be interested. 1 1/8 thread-less. cheers

Hi, long time lurker/reader , first time poster, so please forgive me if this is in the wrong section of the forum or any other faux pas I’m committing! I started tinkering with a 1992 Marin bear valley during the first lockdown, that got me hooked and I bought a slightly worse for wear 1991...
