My retro Orange Aluminium O

[Disco0121]

Hi there Retrobike,

Just thought I’d post a picture of my reto bike I’ve owned it since 1994 which I brought off a friend then upgraded most of the groupset to XTR M900. The stickers on the bike were that faded when I brought it and I would like to replace them, also I was looking for some more retro tyres for it. Back in the day I had panaracer smoke and darts. I was looking at the Charge Splashbacks.

Here is the spec.

Very nice

See Gil_M for decals, he's got your exact ones on file I believe. As for tyres, Splashbacks are good + cheap. There's a member on here selling brand new Smoke's though if you want the full retro look.

Cheers brocklanders023,

I would like some retro tyres to give the bike its early 90's look.

Lovely.......why the different rims?......did one meet an early demise?

I wrecked the back rim back in the 90's and had the wheel rebuilt on a Mavic 231
