Orange R8 build

Thanks. I've found it very nice to ride so far and it has certainly attracted a lot of attention from others.
I think Orange and Hope have always gone together, but I chose a different route.

Sounds great. Anything goes, so easy to swap bits on this era bikes. In reality only my rear hub is Hope, and Hope headset off my Cotic Bfe. it's a great combo as you say.

The ugly XT shifter levers had to go because my simple brain kept trying to shift the wrong way. Swapped for a hardly used set of m770 brakes and shifters.


Still with rapid rise RD though...
