Just weighed the Eldridge and it is 24lb 8oz, which I am delighted with as I was expecting 25-26lb. :D Must be down to upgrading to full XT and the Mavic 217's.

Man, that looks beautiful (and what a great setting!)

Spot on shaun. Know what you mean about no front suspension though. Looks propa retro. I bet it turned a few heads too.

Yes you are right Tom, one bloke couldn't believe it was a 20 year old mountain bike who was looking at it parked up.

Very nice restoration. I realy like the 'battle-ship-grey' Marin's. Great to see it with the original red pieces. Great ride :D

Cheers,
Will

Cheers Will, thanks for the kind words and yes it is a great ride and takes me back 20 years! Notice you have a 93 BV in your nice collection, any chance of a pic?

Nice looking frame Whayne, what are your plans for the build?
 
Re: 1993 MARIN Eldridge Grade - FINAL BUILD & FIRST RIDE PIC

Man, that bike was a good ride back then! Love the pic where it is leaning against the bear... that makes it look even more calli-like

@Whayne: what about a DX series with LX cranks... like i remeber the original spec...
