Re: Project Mini Orange! - Updated with new pics!
Another update!
thanks to Mr OX for the loan of the die, the xc400 got the steerer cut and rethreaded. They also had a complete strip down and respray as they were a very tatty black and orange, which didnt work with the black and purple theme.
Also a new Ritchey Logic headset was fitted as the old Deore unit was well and truly knackered (didnt fully realise until i put the bottom race onto the new forks, built it up and test rode to find the front end all over the place :facepalm: ....pitted and bent, so chucked in the bin!)
It now feels spot on.....
