My recently purchased Marin Eldridge Grade 1992, all original spec except Tyres which had perished unfortunately :facepalm:
It has had little in the way of use, or wear and tear, still holds a beautiful vibrant neon red to the frame and stem. The saddle is in minty mint condition too. Have taken it for spin, once I had fully cleaned and greased it, it rides very smoothly, absorbs the bumps nicely and climbs positively.. Have put some more period amber walls tyres on it as well, to have it in keeping with the Mountain Biker magazine (JAN 92) image above. Also above there is MBUK (DEC 91) review of the Eldridge, came out well.. A mere bargain at £595.00 BITD!!
