Re: I've just picked one of these up from a skip (I asked permission). Really interested in getting this back to some kind of order and finding out more information about it. Did you get to the bottom of the age? 1981 or 1979? From the brochures (linked to in this post) the closest is a...

By the way, here's a pic of what it looked like with it's original (AFAIK unchanged - apart from at least one wheel) spec. inc. Pace RC35s, Maguras, Ti bars (still got these if anyone wants to make me an offer) Selle Italia Ti saddle (sadly no longer with us), campag. rear wheel, Suntour cranks...

Beautiful - so glad it's got some TLC and is being ridden rather than sitting in my shed while I take my other bike out instead. Great work Jonnyboy, was stunned when I saw it in MBR :D

:lol: Your Ma should thank Jon.

Cheers guys, It's been languishing in my shed for ages, in perfect working order apart from needing new brake pads on the Maguras (which I never got round to buying). Glad to see it's getting a sympathetic rebuild (it had Pace RC-35s on it before) and hope it gives you many years of joy -...

It'd be fantastic to see it as BOTM. PM me if it makes it please. :)

SOLD to the man with a Vendetta

Sorry, meant to say that I'm not 100% sure of the size. My guess is that it's a 17". I'm 5'11 and with the seatpost at that height it was fine for me.

Hi kase, I'm going to keep the seatpost in the sale (unless the eventual buyer doesn't want it) BTW, I do have some purple anodised stuff you might be interested in... X-Lite Camlock QRs - they're a bit bashed about, so you can have them for £10 posted. And some X-Lite bar ends, these...

Having a shed clean out (apparently 4 bikes is too many) It does have some scuffs and scratches but it's a great frame. Also includes: Royce Ti BB Dia Comp Aheadset Ti seatpost with purple anodised clamp Weighs just 5.2lbs £150 insured and posted Full set of pics on...

Great tip - thanks again. Oh, and look out for some nice spangly retro gear on eBay (I'll post it up here for first dibs) :wink: I might see a few of you at Big Dog too - as I live in Hove. Not sure I'm racing yet, but if I'm not on holiday a mate's got a team slot open for me.

Thanks for the welcomes everyone. I'm really not sure about getting the brakes working again, the pads are screwed and the whole thing needs a bleed. They also have these plastic levers which are not at all nice. I'm actually thinking of selling :shock:

Thanks - those catalogues are great! I think it's got to be 93 / 94 as 95 is when the Elite changes to the E3. Interestingly, there is a Royce Titanium sticker on the seat tube - but I don't think it's Ti - as the catalogue confirms. Anyone know if there was a "Limited Edition" produced...

Hello there, As you all appear to be learned gentlemen, would anyone be able to help me get a production date for this Orange Elite Limited Edition (if it is that and not just some stickers on a different frame)? The only info I can find is a hazy review from 1999 which claims the bike is...
