Re:

Received the decals from Gil today and fitted, probably the hardest part of the build.

Re:

Like my old one, very cool.

Pace RC35’s and neon yellow Magura’s look well with a grey frame.

Looks good rigid. Very cool.

Re:

Very nice....

I Like the colour.

What about a build list of components etc?

Very nice. Great following for Orange on here.

But am I the only one who feels a rigid fork on an Orange should have backward facing brake mounts ? :?

Re:

Thanks for all the comments.

I had the frame blasted, primered and powder coated for just £25, I took the chance on the colour as I wasn't able to see the shade of grey but it came out well.

The groupset is full Deore XT
Chain - KMC Z8
Rims - Mavic energy M7CD
Hubs - XT
Tyres - Schwalbe Black Jack 26 x 1.9
Seatpost - XT
Pedals - Superstar components
Grips - Deathgrip
Handlebars - Mart alloy flat bars
Stem - Orange Stalk
Headset - Deore XT
Bottom bracket - Shimano UN72

There are a few things I still need to tweak, saddle, bars etc, but that will come with time.

The 1993 prestige in purple to silver fade was one of my fav bikes, really really nice to ride..
