Hello
First post, and what a great site!
I'm looking for some advice on an Orange Road bike. Photos attached.
I was an Orange MTB fan in the early 90s and still have my Alu Elite ( in pieces.....somewhere), and ten years ago, on a whim I bought an Orange D2 Road bike which i've owned ever since and barely ridden. I know precious little about road bikes. It's a glorious looking thing and it seems to be working apart from the right shifter which has given up the ghost and needs replacing. The cheapest Dura Ace shifter I can find is going to be about £60, which i'm probably going to replace soon so I can ride the thing. Once this is done i'm not sure whether to sell or keep. Even though it's an oldish bike, it's absolutely top drawer and im debating selling it and getting something a bit more pedestrian to hack around on. What might it be worth?
