So, I normally spend my time here looking at and occasionally building early 90s bikes which I enjoy very much. My mountain biking history mostly involves a long hiatus from about 1995 to 2013 during which I discovered alcohol, work, family etc... Naturally upon discovering retrobike I went...

I have a 1994 Marin Rocky Ridge which is in good functional condition and my son has taken a shine to it. We stripped it down together today and began to build it back up. All is fine except it needs a new wheelset. It only has one of the originals which is nice but is a little buckled and...

Good morning chaps and chapesses. Last night I decided to start the next project which has been accumulating in the man cave since the summer. Continuing the Zolatone fetish I seem to have developed, a 1990 Eldridge. Well I began by scrubbing things down, the old Zolatone is a bit tatty but...

Something in black preferred, going in my 1990 Eldridge

As it says. This is a 1991 frameset it includes: -Frame 17" -Fork -Headset (usable condition with new bearings and grease included) -Tioga Avenger T-bone stem, noodle has been hacked and is useless so would benefit from complete removal and use with a headset hanger thingy (or V brakes) -True...

So, back in august I bought this off the bay for £40 with the intention of a full rebuild for the wife. Unfortunately the condition was terrible and most of the parts were junk. I half expected this but it was perhaps, even worse, than I expected. The camera flatters somewhat. But, it was...

Just begun as strip down of a '90 marin bear valley that I'm rebuilding for the wife. Got it for a snip off the bay but it's a bit of a wreck. So I thought I'd get it stripped down and give the local powder coaters a try since.... Well they're local and all. All was going swimmingly until the...

Hello all. Just purchased this for the wife, originally thought it was a '91 because of the dark zolatone. Now I'm not so sure because it doesn't seem to have the oversize seat stays or 1 1/8" headtube. http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewit ... 1137944991 I don't really mind which is except...

OK I'm starting this build (almost) from scratch. Got a reasonable '90 Marin Eldridge frame set with original zolatone and fluoro in reasonable condition. It's going to be sympathetic to the original spec but not perfect, it will get ridden so I'm after working parts, save your NOS for others'...

So, this is my first project. I joined probably about 6 weeks ago after being inspired by a friend's raleigh burners while helping them move house. I don't remember what led me to zolatone Marins initially but I was in love with them in the 90s and now I have one, I'm just stoked. Check out...

Just finished my first retro build (will do a thread soon), a '90 marin palisades 1x8 rat. Built it up with M730 to M739 XT parts plus existing good bits and some new parts. I used a 122.5mm BB as recommended by Shelton brown for the M730 crank arms I used. However as I only have one chainring...

Any kind considered! Used is fine if condition is good Paul

Started my ’90 Marin Palisades build and got to the headset install last night. I made a DIY press using a threaded rod, nuts and washers. The crown race wouldn’t go on first try, and second try so I decided to chill the fork in some ice water and heat the race in boiling water and try again...

Hello to all. I can't believe this site has passed me by for such a long time but since I discovered it at the beginning of the week I have spent quite a bit of time browsing/reminiscing/drooling... oh, and I might have just thrown myself in at the deep end with my first ever project with an...
