Re:
Superb work, especially the first. Great use of original parts make it imo.

The clock face decals are actually from the late 90's bikes.

This is mine currently. Single speed with cheapo parts that I'll be replacing during the winter, most likely Deore XT/LX parts. Couldn't find an original fork so the one installed is just a basic Tange MTB fork. Looking to replace it with something fancier later, really liking the rigid Pace forks found in earlier posts on this thread. It's definitely a fun bike to ride! I haven't been riding any MTB in ten years or so, it was so much fun! =)

Re: Re:
You've got a really good starting point there, worth getting some original Orange forks, but like you said you can upgrade slowly. The Orange and white clockwork Orange is still on my bucket list of bikes!! Thanks for sharing

Thanks!
I might put gears and flat bars back on it; oh, and my Pace RC35s...
Re: Re:
I like the orange/white too. When I bought mine the Deore LX was reduced to £599 from £619 (This was early '92 I think); the XC Expert was £599 full price but I went for that because I really wanted the black one at the time. Plus I liked the novelty of the 24-speed MicroDrive!
I still have the thumbshifters which work as well as they did when they were new. I think the rest of the groupset is still on my wife's '91 Hardrock Sport...
