i was the same back then, reading the marin catalogue for what seemed like hours, wishing i could afford a team.
I ended up with an eldridge though. still a great bike
I ended up with a Muirwoods! I would have loved an Eldridge but my Saturday job at the time got me about £14 for an 8 hour day! I remember having the Muirwoods picture on my wall and I coloured the rims black as that was how I wanted it. When I went to order it I asked about getting it with black rims and was told it would be another £50 minimum! As that was about a months wages for me I back then I stuck with the original spec!...now over 20 years later I can say f**k yeah black rims I'll have them...oh and black cantis? Bring it on!...etc etc (just a shame I don't have the time or fitness that I had at 16!)
