Hello Retro bike

[MrMsisle98]

Hello there im new so thought i would tell you what i have so in 1996 i saw the prototype Orange Msisle for the first time at PORC " penhurst off road club " and team orange was there with there rider Tim Pointing and out he pops with this mental box section frame and i fell in love there and then and being in the trade i nagged and nagged orange until they finally took an order from me promising to build 150 frames in 14" / 16" half in orange half in silver so i ordered a 16" in silver and in December 1998 mine was made no97 of 150 handbuilt originals and like triggers broom its had 7 pairs of forks 5 pairs of wheels and every component part changed several times and has live at every uk address ive ever lived at. So now at 35 and currently running 2010-2014 components ive decided to retire it and rebuild her back to my original 1999 spec so have been hunting out all the parts and im a few bits short so looking for some advice and help with my project :roll:
