Went out today and rides like new although damn sight bumpier than my full suss Marin! but climbed hills like a dream! Downhill definately slower and bumpier! But great fun, the first mud/dust the bike has seen!
Sadly it looks like I'm getting rid of the Eldridge...need the money as moving house, that and wife issues!....Will be breaking over the weekend...Let me know if there is any interest in the parts...
