(Build updated - list & pics here - https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/orange-vit-t2.407256/page-3#post-3145195)
1994 Orange VIT T2. Got this recently. Not been a smooth ride! Had a crack in seat tube & had issues with some of the mainly Suntour groupset. Plus it was set up as a 1x & I wanted 3x. That gave me the opportunity to use my partners old Girvin crank/chainset off her old Proflex. I got the seat tube welded up locally & decided to chuck some Shimano XT on it & fit Pace forks & Mavic Sunset rims. In the end I only kept the stem, grips, (new) BB, seatpost, clamp & saddle & the headset, which has a little life still in it. Bars & levers also needed as they were missing. The old wheels & original forks I may keep but the rest will be sold on. I'll also keep the original forks. I'm sure it was sold in good faith & I got some money back from the seller but I'll not buy Ti unseen again. Bit of a mix-up of XT on the groupset but I'm happy with the look. Unless a frame is mint or repainted I make less of an effort for catalogue accuracy. Saddle yet to be tested so only provisional at present. Going to get some mud on it tomorrow.
