Muchos Gracias Hombres, I think that settles it then.... new bike for me.

Hmmm, if only I had the wonga for another bike.... maybe in a few months. So do the Smartys go totally flat on one side? Or do you always have to balance your foot on the cleat springs?

I've still got no Pedals on my RC 200 an it's killing me, what the funk do I go for? I'm looking at Shimano DX, because I want to be able to use SPDs for XC but I don't want to clip in if I'm legging it down the shops or dicking about in the park. But all the DX seem to have raised cleat...

Easy, Orange didn't have a huge range back then so it could only be one of a few, hard to say, but one of the most popular rigid frames was the Clockwork, which I seem to remember came silver polished. I'm sure other guys on here have a much greater knowledge than me, but it's a good place to...

Anybody got a decent red seat post (or with any red in the design)? There's a lovely Ringle on ebay but it ain't gonna fit my RC 200 (which is 29.4mm I think?) Interested in USE / hope / x-lite / Ringle, infact I don't know what I'm looking for... can you tell. Any suggestions? Ta.

Nah, You've gotta hit the reserve for the item to sell, otherwise it just goes unsold. So have a low bid, under the assumption you'll never win it. And if it turns out you do go over the reserve, you've got a bargain, right? Just don't bid too close to your threshold, you might end up with...

Damn fine to know. I really do need a refresher course.

Nice, they made RC-36s with 1 inch steerer? In that case, let me know if anyone is selling.

Sorry, only just fell in love with the old gal.

Yeah, they feel like crap. I've got new elastomers from Pace, so that and a good strip down / service should do it, right? Anything more critical I should be worried about?

I've always ridden rigid up until buying this bike (Giant and GT) and I just fancy trying out suspension, thats probably why I'm hung up on having some newer forks, so I can really get a feel for them. But if every one thinks the 35s are my best bet, i'll no doubt go with the masses on this one...

Yep, I hear you, good call compadre. I love the look of RC-35s, I was just thinking it might be worth trying to get some air / oil forks that would fit. Purely from a performance perspective. Elastomers just seem so... out of date now, I wasn't sure if it would keep up with newer bikes? For sure...

Cheers chaps, Maybe I'll just keep a beady ebay eye out for some old but sweet RC-35s. I didn't know if Manitou or rock shox did some decent 1 inch steerer forks back in the day that I might find?

Easy, Anybody know if Air line VXC rims are any good? I'm basically being a style sucker and want red rims but I don't want them if they are crap. Any suggestions? While we're at it... anybody know where I can get manuals and frame specs for an old RC200? Pace don't have it archived any...

Howdy, Recently bought an old (but perfect) RC 200, unfortunately it's the frame with a 1 inch steerer tube so I haven't got much choice in forks. Having said that I want to keep it retro anyway, so can anyone tell me (in their opinion) what were the best forks ever produced with a 1 inch...
