Re:

Thanks. It's still on its way to my place. If it's '92 than I have a nice xtr 900 waiting for it.

Re:

I'll defo be a 92/3 model year as the 91's used a different shade of orange and different decals.

Re: 17" Prestige

So here's mine that I've just (almost) finished. I got the frame already stripped from eBay.
It's a '92 but I've taken a liberty in the decals (thanks Gil!) as I wanted to recreate the '94 that I had back in the day.
The rest is a mix of M900/ M737, Hope hubs and Ti bits.... I hope to get matching rims soon and need to sort an issue with the v-brakes clearing the RC35 crown (any ideas?)

Super nice

RE: the brake issue, can you not just move the brakes to the more "conventional/non-Pace" position in front of the fork?, that's if the band-on brake bosses are seperate, looks like they might be?

 

[Bizbauer]

Thanks!

I see what you mean re: brakes but I don’t think that would help unless I take off the front brace but I’m pretty sure the forks have RJ have both braces fitted. The clearance is between the pin that holds the spring on the v-brake catching the fork brace... see pic...

Re: Re:

Won this one on Ebay this weekend. Anyone knows what year this is from? From what I've found on the net it should be 1991?

Forgive me, I'm Belgian, I only know this brand from the time I saw Caroline Alexander ride one in Houffalize back in the nineties.

Will make a great project, that's for sure.

i was so tempted with that, but i forgot the auction end!

Re: Orange P7 ebay boxabits

Who loves a P7? Picked up a box of bits and a dented frame recently... Looks like a late ‘94/early ‘95 with STX/RC. Most parts there apart from chain, pedals and headset so will try to build up from what I have, and beg/borrow/buy the rest.

Hi All - I'm new to the forum and have spent a very enjoyable time reading this thread

Thought I'd add my Orange Prestiege which i took out for a spin yesterday;




One thing I noticed was a bit of play under braking in the RC36 forks so it's curently being stripped with an attempt to try and work out the cause. I'm not sure if there is a common cause?

cheers
