    For Sale Marin Eldridge 1990, all original except the tyres.

    Many thanks your reply and also Jimbog's as well. It's just a little too small for me, I tend to ride bikes on that a 17/18. I had a 91 Pine Mountain demo for a long weekend and also bought a 93 Eldridge Grade new and both were 17.5. regards

    Bar ends yay or nay?

    I raced extensively, at a very low level, throughout the 1990's, starting using them about 91 because everyone else was. I always found them a great help, when dying going uphill on the bars then moving my hands to the bar ends gave me a new lease of life. Perhaps even reaching the top without...

    Why are thumb shifters so prized in the retrobike community?

    I kept with thumbshifters for several years after sti became available for a number of reasons. I bought a new Offroad in 91 that was specced with sti, but came with thumbies, probably availability shortages. Soon after I picked up a second hand Saracen with sti that had obviously been knocked...

    Today's Ride

    Fairy mundane ride on local roads last night, drizzly conditions throughout, but first try out for my new Cateye bar end mirror. What a game changer, being able to see what's coming up behind made me feel much more relaxed.

    Frame Designs that Shouldn't Work but Do!

    Must have passed me by, don't remember it at all. I wonder if bike still exists. I guess it must be the same Andy who was a prolific mountain bike racer in the early days.

    Can I salvage this?

    The wheels look like factory wheels from mid naughties. I have a pair that look same but mine are back, they were sold as Ultegra (can't recall the numbers). I also have a front 105 that is silver, but the spokes are laced differently.

    Frame id please??

    Looks like a Merlin Malt I bought early/mid 90's. Unfortunately long gone and no photos. Always asumed it was a generic asian made frame sold to all and sundry.

    Yellow TDF Jersey mystery signature??

    Yellow riders in 2011 were Gilbert, Hushovd, Voeckler, Andy Schlek and Evans. Not familiar with their signatures, but does not look particularly like any of them.
