Re: My first Orange.
Done! And ridden (round the block anyway). It's nice!
A few tweaks to make, shifting's not as crisp as I'd like (need to check rear derailleur/hanger alignment), and also I'm wondering if the cage of the front mech might be slightly misaligned/bent... plus wheels need a fully OCD true-up to be 100% (in which case I can also get the brakes adjusted better). But hey, chasing perfection isn't why I've put this together, and besides I think I need to ride it a bit before getting too carried away with the spanners.
I'm chuffed. Build feels super light compared to what I've been riding recently and on a quick road test it feels both comfy and quick. I like the way it looks too.
Can't wait to take it on a decent ride!
