X2 sets of brand new Double Track rims for my Orange 224GBR.

[Deleted member 55523]

Evening all,

I had some unreal luck tonight and found some shop in the UK selling 2 sets of the legendary Double Track rims (39 mil) what is ultra rare is finding them brand new and in perfect cond apart from one of the stickers has a tear which can be replaced.

At the moment I have the MTX39 rims on my Orange but really wanted the double tracks as they look better even though they are heavier and older and besides I no longer do DH but need the strength of them bikes as I am 20 stone plus I've always loved the look of DH bikes.

One last twist was the price, I wont state what I got both sets for BUT they were THAT cheap that when I thought I was putting in the basket TWO rims it was only when I read the email to confirm the order that I finally realised it was in fact TWO SETS of rims :-o

Here they are with my current wheels.

They look ace with the Dorado fork and the other flashy bits
Looks like a very tidy Orange you have there.

Apologies for the late reply Its been bedlam here the last 24hours, I also just managed to buy a FTW (Frank the welder) DH frame at an incredible price, so its been a really good end to the week "So far" for me, Yeah thanks for the comment "Magpiegifts" them rims are MTX39s and they are on the Orange 224 now but I am going to get the Double Tracks built onto Onyx DH hubs I think? I've tried Chris King and want to try i9s and Onyx and I've heard nothing but good things about them both...Thanks again.

"Shedobits" I only have a limited amount of pics of it as its now away in secure storage until next year, but this is what I have as it was being built.

Some of the pics are when it was first started with the old forks and crank/coil shock on etc.
