Greets dude... Not a buyer for the bike but would you mind telling me what tyres are on the e3 in the pics? Are they the Team Master / Team Control combo?

And a bargain at only £3.99... They'd have some empathy with the Onza bar-ends I'm using as well... :D

The 1995 Orange E3 build I'm working on originally came with Grip-Shift X-Ray shifters and the corresponding shortened grip-shift grips... However... I'm fitting XT STI units to keep the groupset as XT as possible but what were the full length grips of choice in 1995... ? Thanks in advance...

Crikey... You wait for ages and then loads of them come along at once. I'll take the M737 STi units please... PM Sent :-)

Ooooh... Sorry for the delay in answering... I've been partying :P I'm definitely up for your set of 738's if you find you have them going spare :D No rush or pressure :D :D

Friday bump... Still after either 737's or 738's :-)

Panic over... I removed the forks and everything looks normal... I must have misunderstood what bike shop dude was telling me. There's no play, the shim seems to be in place and the baseplate is a tight fit on the steerer near the crown.. Phew... Apologies... I should have stripped the fork...

Thanks for the input... I doubt Loctite will secure the part and if it moves when ridden it'll get trashed for sure... I'll measure up and contact jbd for a replacement thing... Ho-hum... Would have thought my local bike shop would have known better but at least they told me what they'd done...

Now then... For my first project I'm restoring an 1995 Orange E3 that I've owned from new. I had the Pace RC35 MXCD forks off and had them serviced by justbackdated who did a terrific job. On refitting them I noticed that the old Dia-Compe Aheadset was a bit pitted so looked around for a...

Just had my RC35 MXCD's serviced by Tim... They feel as good as new... In fact they feel better than new with the "for the heavier rider" custom elastomer combo :oops: Great service, great comms, fast turnaround and enjoyed our chats on the telephone :D

Oooh... Just spotted those Grip-Shift X-Ray's... They'd go well on my build... Any chance you could email me some pics.

Companion piece to the Overbury's Pioneer Review I recently scanned The typewritten then photocopied order form and spec sheet is direct from Overbury's complete with typo's (revoluntionizes??? inovation?), obvious Tipp-Ex corrections (Britains?) and a scrawled "Sorry For Delay" message on...

Overbury's Pioneer Exage review from 1988 in what was probably the UK's first Mountain Bike magazine. This issue of Mountain Biker is actually pre issue 1 and was given away in Bicycle Magazine in around 1988 before Mountain Biker became it's own publication...

Dude... I've been farting about in the loft and I've found a stash of Mountain Bike mags... March 1993 MBUK is amongst them. Are you still after these scans?

Scans are up... Enjoy http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=144462

Scan of Bromwich Elevated Chainstay prototype as featured in Mountain Biker magazine 1989 (Issue 7, Volume 1) 2 page spread and the scanner isn't blurry... the magazine is :-) I've tagged on three small 35mm shots that i found of the bike because whoever edited the article seems to have...

I've got a couple of "vanity" copies of the original magazine :-) ... Not a problem for me to scan them and up them.

LOL... @ justbackdated... Just had one of those 6 degrees of separation moments... I was searching for Bromwich on the forums and found this post in which you mentioned you'd spent some time with Jim McIlwaine helping out etc. You mentioned that you were always trying to build bikes with...

Greets Dude... Did you get my PM (Personal Message) :-) Love and peace Dave

Crikey... M737's or 738's??? Either way I'm very interested indeed and I'd appreciate some pics :-) I'll PM you my email address to avoid the spam bots... Thanks for picking up on my request :-)
