1990 Marin Eldridge SS (parts bin special)

[prof farnsworth]

Some of you may have seen my 1990 eldridge restoration i did a while back.

Clicky here

Anyway, here is its antithesis. i bought the frames together and after doing the full restoration on one, i didnt really have any plans for the other.

As everyone knows, the best thing to do with a extra frame is single speed it.

Its not pretty and the purists may lament my use of non period correct parts, however i can assure you it rides lovely.

the fully restored bike is stunning........one of those colour schemes we.....(those in the know that is.... ) would recognise instantly from half a mile away.......i bet the single speed will gather dust with the other next to it!!!
