Hi All
First time here so nice to meet you all.
OK Here's the deal. Waaaaaaay back in '92 I used to go tearing around on a Clockwork Orange Deore DX. I stopped riding seriously in '95 and apart from the occasional blast, it has sat in my Garage.
I started riding again earlier this year and not even thinking for a second about my Orange (Mea Culpa) got a Speciaized HardRock sport, just to get back into things without blasing out too much cash (being married with a family has that effect...)
Anyway, as I've gotten more and more back into things, I've started thinking about bringing my Orange out of retirement. Condition wise it's not bad. I put a new bottom bracked and headset on it about three years ago. Biopace front cogs are a bit worn and the rear derailleur is a bit beaten up and could probably do with swapping.
I fancy bringing the bike back up to a condition where I can use it in anger again so I guess I'm looking for some advice on where to start and to what extent is it possible to refurb old bikes.
cheers
