Early Eldridge grade

[Ed74]

Not mine, looks familiar though. Interesting take on the use of a front mech and the resultant chain routing. Oh and a god awful saddle.

That's travelled all the way from Buckinghamshire with the Cyclecare decal attached which was one of my local ish shops bitd.

Crazy saddle and front mech aside, I think that is in pretty good shape TBH.. It even still has the Rockstar tyres

Barter down a bit to £150 and not a bad deal I reckon!

EDIT. That front mech configuration really is a bit wappy though

it took me a while to be honest to figure it out... there is a thread on this bike and how people make their top pull mechs work with dt cable routing.

Still doing the rounds then. I posted about it before Christmas -

1992 model. Trouble is that is the original bottom pull DX mech! He must love the sound of grinding metal
If the seatpost is seized nearer the £100 mark
