Remember these? Here’s one in red. For 1 inch threadless. Yours for £12.50 posted

I've had a similar reflection, and a similar context and come to a number of conclusions: 1) I do what I do for me, and no-one else. I'm too old now to worry about what anyone else thinks. 2) As a middle aged chap, life gets in the way. That's OK. I have other priorities than riding every...

Wonder if with the Bombers the front and rear shocks are a bit mismatched as my recollection is them running a Judy variant, and even the XL.

What about one of the ass-saver type things that clips under the saddle, and looks a bit like a duck tail? I've got one on my modern and it works quite well.

Putting an order in for an RB logo in white please. Will confirm size later and edit thread

Very nice indeed

I have a Clockwork of that era that had RST forks on, which were heavy and not brilliant. My 98 P7 had Manitou Spyders which weren't bad but a bit flexy. 98 is more than likely a 1 1/8 ahead - so plenty of choice. The unwritten rule, of course, is Pace forks on an Orange... ...unless you go...

Sorry, missed this - thanks for the offer. Funny as I also have one on my wife's bike, but I'm pretty sure she'd notice :)

Spot on - thanks, will DM

That’s the one - thanks for checking

Is it an urban myth that BITD King bearings were "for life"? (I may have made that up, and it's not relevant in the second hand market) I'd go second hand and sell the bits you have as spares.

Anyone got one in tidy condition. Not looking to spend the earth as its for a parts bin bike

So having seen another short head-tubed Orange on eBay with vectors, I’m kind of glad I haven’t progressed that idea. This one would have probably come with Manitous and I reckon someone’s swapped in the vectors. Looks like a bit of a Frankenbike and I’m not sure it’d ride too well…

Selling these as they just won’t work on my P7 build. They have been around a few on the forum. Blue paint will strip and vectors do polish up nicely. The previous owner has had a go (see pics) but they’d do better with some paint stripper and a good amount of polishing. Seem to move well and...

+1 for fox flux I have four smashed helmets mounted above my garage door. Serves as a reminder (that I don’t need) to always wear one. Wish I still had my tequila sunrise Giro Hammerhead SC from 1989 ish though.
