Put this up for sale a while ago, had some interest at about £200, but got mucked around by a guy - kept promising to come round and look at it, but never turned up :evil:

Then the GF decided she did want it after all...................but a few months down the line and a house move later she still hasn't ridden it! It's taking up space for something else I have my eye on - and I'm trying to have a strict 1 in 1 out policy nowadays :oops:

So.............................

This is quite a nice little time-capsule, 99% original bits, and in very good (but ridden) condition........

- Orange Clockwork Steel frame, in rather nice grey/silver. 15" C2C seat tube, 17" to the top of the seat tube. 20" C2C top tube & 22" effective top tube.
- Manitou Spider forks.
- Full 7spd Deore LX (M570) - Rear mech, shifters, hubs, crankset - but a newer XT front mech.
- Avid Speed Dial 5 brake levers.
- Avid Single Digit 5 V-Brakes.
- Mavic X517 SUP rims.
- Velociraptor F+R Tyres.
- Orange Hotrod bars.
- Orange ahead stem.
- Orange straight seatpost.
- Bontrager barends.
- Viscount saddle.
- No pedals, but I could include some old LX SPDs.

On the 2 or 3 rides my gf took it on there were no problems. All the cables are fine, and it shifts, brakes, etc. ok. All the components are in good condition - no foot rub on the cranks for example. You could pick this up and go straight out for a ride. In fact if you do pick it up I'll take you for a ride on some rather nice local trails!

Couple of the stickers are scuffed, and it does have one or two scratches in the normal places - toptube from bars, headtube from cable rub, etc.

I'm after £185ish for the whole lot. I'd rather it was collected (Posting whole bikes is a hassle!!!) but I could post at cost if needed :)

Here's some photos:

I bought this for my GF - she's 5'4" - it fitted ok, but the stem was too long. The frame size is an Orange 17" and has a standover height of 15", so probably equates to a 16" in real terms.

So......I would say it would suit someone between 5'4" (though with a shorter stem) and 5'10" at the very most.

Hope that's some help.

Lovely bike btw - if it was the next size up I'd keep it for myself!
 
Yes it is - actually I just repleid to your wanted ad over on Singletrack!

Any Qs, fire away!
 
Why would somebody take the trouble of joining the forum to ask if it's available and then never respond? :roll:

Anyway.......this is an a 'going to put it on Ebay soon' bump.

Sensible offers welcome :)
