Here’s my Eldridge grade. Bought for £30 on Facebook. It was in a bit of a mess when purchased. It had been converted to v brakes with ‘travel agents’, which I sold for £30.00 to fund some new tektro cr720 cantis. The hubs were stripped and regreased and fitted with new bearings and 2 new spokes fitted to rear wheel. All the transmission was good, apart from a sticky freehub and I fitted a new chain anyway. Tyres are new Schwalbe land cruisers in 2”width.
There was helitape stuck on the forks and down tube, which was a pig to remove - used a hairdryer and white spirit and it’s done the job!
Finished it off with on one Mike alt bars which were £9.00 on offer at P X; and a very old Nimrod front rack and bar bag which were in the workshop loft!
It’s a lovely frame- very light.
