Re:

Looks great... decals really pop against the grey frame and suit it just fine

I bought my decals from that site but didn't see the Hot Rod ones. Thanks for pointing them out, ordered.

No i don't think he's looked at them yet, i've re-sent the templates to him with more accurate measurements.
and will give you a heads up when they eventually go on his site.

He's definitely got these Hot Rods in though.

Appreciated Mr Ox!

Its great that there are so many Orange threads out there at moment.
it reminds me of an old mobile phone advert.

Re:

Looking good, the shade of those rims are a real nice and understated feature.

Re: emjays C-16 Build

LX chainset front/rear mech and brifters arrived today in the post.

I'll fit them later together with the un72 bottom bracket i already had.

Taking shape.

Re: emjays C-16 Build

The front mech is not the right bandwith, nor is it a top pull, as i already knew when buying the group, so i'm still on the lookout for 31.8 top pull.

Also, it looks like i'll have to go with vee brakes, as the steerer length would not accomadate a canti hanger. plus it doesn't have the rear canti hanger anyway.

The 97 LX spec had them so thats the direction i'm forced to take.
