Hey folks, I am currently looking to buy used as an entry level rider, but I want a decent bike and know that Marin runs with the best of 'em.

Would I be better off getting a Marin Bolinas Ridge 1 or an Eldridge Grade 1 (assuming I could get either for a similar enough price)? I've seen both floating around during my search, and it would be helpful to know which to hone in on.

I will mostly be doing easier dirt trails, some single track, no big jumps or anything crazy.

  1. Looks like Eldridge Grade has hydraulic disc brakes and a slightly better drivetrain, if they are the same price, that’s the one I’d pick.
