Early 90's 19"Marin Pine Mountain, Eldridge Grade or similar

[chrizpah]

Looking for a complete early-mid 90s, 19" Marin Pine Mountain or Eldridge Grade. Not precious if it's pristine as looking to modify slightly into a gravel/offroad touring rig.

If you have something of a similar area & spec I'd love to hear about it as well. Drawn to Marins as being influenced by a good friend, but very open to options!

That’s just the sort of direction I’m going with my pine mountain, not for sale I’m afraid but here’s progress so far..

Looks like a great build! Something to aspire to once I find my Marin...

Hi,

Thanks for coming back. Might be a bit too clean and pretty for me! I'll have a closer review and come back.
