welcome! That looks brilliant! Did you have to do much rust removal on the stem?

I presume the Year/Month is still stamped on the BB shell on these - first three digits are YMM - so 607xxxx would July 96

Thanks for your comment...the stem was in good condition, i just rubbed over it with tin foil & some water and it came up fine

Welcome mate, you'll find plenty of us Orange fans here! It still has a cable stop on the rear wishbone so won't be later than 95/6. Check out the archive as the info should be in there.
