1991 Orange Aluminium O.

Poor old ed.
"I thought i was out, then i get pulled back in".
Never truly ends this retro palaver.

Nice, iconic colours, i do like an orange too. If you cant get on with the flexstem, shove a zoom in there. They seem to blend in well and offer good height adjustment. Plenty around too, cheap.

Yeah, the Flexstem is nice and lifts the front but not convinced it needs both.

Two suspensions...it's basically full suspension!
Looks sweet with that RS1.
I'm always surprised how much the saddle changes things.
Would love to see the maguras on there... I know nothing about them but they look so cool.

Cheers guys. Had Magura's on a Clockwork I built years ago and they were ace! Still not decided on the direction here yet tbh.

The elastomers from Skateboard trucks can be used to revive the flex stem.

Nice bike to bring you back into the retro-Orange fold!

Cheers mate. Not done anything with this yet, waiting for better weather!
