Re: 1991 Marin Pine Mountain Build FINISHED

Just to close this off, took some daylight pictures of the Eldridge Grade and Pine Mountain. I've been using the EG quite a bit when the weather is decent, still can't bring myself to subject it to the worst of the weather and I intend to use the PM the same.

I never really intended to build two almost identical bikes in looks and spec but now I have, I'm having trouble choosing which one I prefer. The PM spec is slightly better and having just been powdercoated is fresher but the EG has original paint and I've always liked the Deore/DX groupset.

Pics, hopefully not too big.

Here are the two together:

Yeah. It's original. I really like the red colour, very bright in certain light.
