Just a little play to finally finish this one off…. New shimano brake cables & outers to replace the ones damaged in it various trips around the country… Do I hear the purists cry “the loss of originality! :cry: ” :facepalm: never mind…

Ready for it's paper round....

That's super minty! I like that it's a lower range model, mind you I go to the festival of the unexceptional & would rather have some quality autoshite than a Ferrari.

So what happened to the ‘92 mint Oracle? Well after it’s first outing at Mountain Mayhem 2019 I had intended to show it over the following few years & we all know how that went. So it got relegated to spare for the kids resulting in some slight damage to the name graphic, a bit of crank rub and lots of zig zag scratches to the seat tube. Ah well, at least it’s was occasionally being used. Now it’s 2021 & although I’ve spent the previous 1000 years eating my pack-up during morning & afternoon paid breaks I find myself working for a firm that insists we take our paid breaks AND an unpaid half hour lunch!. So now the Oracle is my lunchtime ride, quick half hour in the sunshine certainly put a smile back on my face.

Well here’s a proper use of a tea break, zig zags sorted

Useful to know what year this dust gatherer in the storeroom is at last.

1992. It was the only year that the graphic underline was produced in two colours.
