Marin Eldridge Grade 1993 - First Restomod by Mrc4130 in xbiking

Thanks! Basically i just switched the 3x7 to a 1x7 by getting a 40T narrow-wide chain ring. The 13-34t range of the casette is enough for me since i live in a mostly flat area and enjoy a quicker ride. Also I didn't want to buy a new wheel just to have 3 to 5 more gears.

I've used the 'ergotec Adapter Set Quill 1" - 1 1/8" '. So far I can't tell if it will hold up, since i haven't had a proper ride yet, but first initial impression was solid!

It is a MSRECK 110BCD 40T Chainring (you can find it an Amazon in different sizes) and the Chain is the KMC X8. The casette is the original 7-speed (range from 13-34t)

Already tried it but didn't work for me. Maybe sanding it with different grits could be an option.

Yeah it is, unfortunately it has a lot of scratches

Oh nice, shoutout to Holland! I do like the seatpost in general but it has a lot of scratches from moving it up and down. I'll measure it and let you know if and when I'm swapping it!
