This 1990 Marin Eldridge was given to me by a friend and I thought it’d be a good winter project - my first! So, it has had a full strip down, fresh powder coat on the frame and forks, new decals applied, new Panaracer Smoke and Dart tyres, New Flite titanium saddle, almost new biopace chainset and replacement cassette and new chain, new Flexstem (the original flouro green one is also available if the buyer wants it).

Also features LX front and rear derailleurs, Deore thumb shifters, one TA Specialities bottle cage and other unbranded and original flouro green Onza bar ends. The original wheels were knackered so have been replaced with something more modern (although I have the original front wheel if the buyer wishes to have it). New brake pads fitted on the Shimano cantilever brakes and nice Deore DX brake levers still with their original hoods. 3TTT MTB bars. Overall I’m pretty pleased with the result but the bike is a little too big for me so time to let it go.

£250 - Priced to cover the cost of what I have spent only. Collection only please. PM if you wish to come and view. J8 M61, Chorley.
If the whole bike doesn’t sell then I’ll break it and make all of the parts available here. The frame is 19 inches centre BB to centre of seat tube. (amended size.)
Sorry, pedals not included, my godson has blagged those already!

Nice work!

That's a 19 inch frame as measured by Marin (centre to centre).

Have a mooch around the forums - someone is looking to swap a 17.5 inch Zolatone Pine Mountain frame for a larger 19 inch Marin frame. I can't recall the details, but it might be worth considering if this one is a little big for you.
 
Re: 1990 Marin Eldridge (Restored)

Thanks, that's appreciated. It must just be a long frame then as I ride 19 on my other bikes and they are fine. I've put a shorter flexstem on but the reach is still longer than I'm used to by about by about 3cm. Off for a mooch . . .
