Take a look on retrobike at the 90s Marin Catalogues. Loads of info and expertise on that site.

Also the "Marin Bikes: The Early Years 1986-1996" group on Facebook.
Your Eldridge Grade is from 1995, that year there was the Team Titanium and Team Marin and Pine Mountain above it in the (titanium/steel) range. I have a Team Marin. In 1995 they offered both Manitou and Rock Shox forks - Catalogue show Rock Shox on the Eldridge but you might have been able to have either. Marin offered suspension forks in 1992 and the full sus dual-Manitou FRS bikes in 1993.
I have / had a few 90s Marins - 1995 Team Marin, Eldridge Grade & Muirwoods, 1994 Bear Valley SE & Eldridge Grade, 1990 Palisades Trail (x2 different colours).
