Hi All, so I've got the bike and the serial is 04/1994, I forgot how light these were defo feels lighter than my Eldridge grade. Hubs are dryish but smooth, rims are straight but crap, seat post is good, shim is black, rear lx mech is cosmetically tatty but I have a mint xt one. So I've never...

Hi, Yes has a chain holder but no diamond bosses, yeah the seat clamp and the threaded fork is making it hard to see, the canti brace is not there but there is a bolt hole under where it would have been. Serial number tomm when I collect.

Thanks but I though earlier as it has a stx threaded steerer, I think he's used the quill converter on it, hopefully the seat post will be good, cranks can be polished if teeth ok, rims are odd maybe hubs be ok. I have a mint XT rear mech that should be ok, I'm going to try and see if a mobile...

Hi All, Today I acquired this P7 from Ebay in a lime green colour which Ive never seen before, Im trying to date it, 94-95? sio I can have a look for period parts, anyway I only really bought it for the frame and forks as I really liked my purple P7 and it can sit with the 94 Eldridge Grade I...

This is from the owner as I was curious The original dealer from Sowerby Bridge in Haliax sold this bike when it was new he then took it in part exchange and re sold it to a friend of mine and I subsequently purchased it from him 12 years,ago. A bike expert assures me that this is an American...

But this is a rare American version lol, I bought mine the first week it was launched from leisure lakes, wash lane , bury. I got nickel but changed for purple, no lugs, I think someone's pulling a fast one there.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/145051133820 I dont remember mine being lugged :rolleyes:

I looked at this already at the owners house, 56cm frame but was very close to the family jewels for me but looked like it could be a nice bike, a 52cm and I would have took it myself.

This is what I'm after pxing

This is what I'm thinking of

Hi again, it looks like the size might be fine, glory days from swinnerton cycles shows it should be good, I've enquired if they would consider a px.

Hi, thanks, grantoury your calc gives me a 20 inch seat tube, Curzons246 the bike is in Liverpool so is a bit of a drive. I was using a high end spin bike but I can't get the Marin's seat any further back and that makes me feel pushed forward. I might have a look or hang fire for a 20-21 inch or...

Hi All, I currently have a 98 Marin Eldridge Grade but possibly being older I find it a bit cramped and was thinking of a road bike. Many years ago I had a Rossin frame with a chorus groupset I got from a shop in Coppul, it may have been part of Deeside Cycles I'm not sure but can't remember...

Hi All, Finally sorted the Marin, all original except for tyres and saddle, forks are rattle can respray Rockstars, excuse the tape everywhere, just to stop more paint rub and saddle. Its cost me 2 chain rings and the rigid forks, I put my minty avid levers on it as they were the same as the...

Hi , thanks but I thought decals were cheap, a person offered to do them but not at 25 euros plus 8 euros delivery, I will just spray them satin black and leave them, it was a cheap purchase to see if I could get back into riding for fitness, I've only had to replace the shockers with rigid and...
