Picked up an Alpine frame from the old Dirt Orange team late last year and got it sent over. Good fun so far, it begs to be ridden hard! Added a dropper on and will swap out the bars for some alloy Funns. Not getting along with the flex in the Renthals.

Re: Hey Adam, Yep up in the top end. It's too flat over this way. I'm currently trying to relocate to the east coast where it's a bit cooler and the hill are much larger!

Added a five to the mix to replace the tired patriot. A couple of cracks have started to form under the head tube and swingarm. Rides well, although the p23 is a bit underwhelming. I've only noticed it on the longer descents so far. It'd be nice to pop a coil in there :xmas-big-grin...

Re: Hi Matt, The patriot is great except when going uphill. It'd be similar to pedalling a trampoline. I modernised the frame a little by adding a set of offset bushings which slackened it out by 1.5deg. Did the same on the 222. Makes a noticeable difference. If you see one with an fox RP...

Re: 02 Ms Isle

Great job mate! Is it an 18" ?

Yeah it's an rc46 I think? I had that re-anodised as well because it was looking a bit shabby. The guys at Orange are really helpful if you give them a call as previously mentioned. It cost me about 25 pound posted to Aus for the set. Included a fresh head badge as well!

I got the global stickers from Orange a while back. Just never got around to stripping the bike and getting it painted. Shock, pivot hardware and hubs I had anodized. You may be able to get a standard set of 222/223 stickers and use photoshop to change to colours? Also the 2001 and 2002...

Hey mate, I just finished rebuilding my orange. I've got a couple more pictures somewhere of team bikes, I'll see if I can dig them up. [/img] If you have a rear m755 caliper I'd be very interested in it! I've got a pair of the original xt levers (m756 I think? the one with the 90deg...

Apologies. Sorted it now. Thanks!

Item: Shimano xt m755 4pot rear claliper And xtr m952 9spd shifter Condition: Any! Even if it needs a rebuild I'm happy to take it! Price: Depending on condition.... Extra Info: Got a pair of m755 but they are both front mounts. Bugger.... I've got a pair of newer xt calipers m775 I can swap...

After seeing these little bikes tear it up in the Sprung video series I knew I needed one! The Global arai team was a definite highlight for me growing up. Not exactly to spec as I want to keep it somewhat competitive for the up coming race season. Poor frame has had a hard life prior to this...
