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.

I bought this a while back for my daughter, but she wasn’t comfy as the bars were too low and it was a bit too stretched for her.
It’s a 1991 Diamond back Sorrento. I tried selling but no interest, so I thought I’d have a go at making it fit her!! I had an old, short, riser stem so bought a quill/ahead adaptor and some alt bars to raise the bars and shorten the reach.
The bike is in great nick, a true temper cromo frame and forks; and full 200 GS groupset. New tyres, old guards and saddle and her lomo frame pack finish it off. She really loves it, but hasn’t tried it in it’s new guise yet as she’s away in Uni at the minute!

I bought this 1991 Diamondback for £50 for my daughter. It’s got true temper cromo tubing and all I’ve had to do is fit a new chain and cassette, some old mudguards, her favourite saddle and seat pack; and some new Vittoria voyager tyres from Planet X (£8 each!)
It rides really nicely
Oh sorry but they’re now sold … hope you get fixed up.
