I've now got several Orange projects. Most are 19" Prestige or P7 which are probably too small for me really being 6ft2 still a few are getting built too.
This 21" came up for sale so I grabbed it, the bigger sizes probably don't look as cool but the extra headtube and leg room will be handy. It's a 1992/1 which is what i was after too.
It's previously been owned on here so will post them links or pics if they are happy.
Now the options:
Paint - it's a tired satin black with touch ups and all kinds, original paint, but replaced decals.
* DIY sand down and rattle can satin black just like i did on my factory Prestige.
* Pay £150 + for Bob Jackson orange fade? I'm not sure it's good enough for a pricey paint job but maybe...
* Powdercoat a solid colour - Black Gloss - Black Satin - Orange - White.
Groupset:
* It's currently got an old Suntour headset and I've just got some well used but hopefully restorable Suntour XC Comp MD parts inc Hubs/Wheels.
* I've got a brand new DX Headset and seat post, and could gather up most of a Shimano DX groupo.
Stem
* Stalk with bulge at top of quill needing paint and rubber bung for top, or Girvin Flex Stem, really wanted one BITD just a bit chunky, or slim Specialized one.
Also I have some used Orange colour Ram Rods!
Also Also, I have an orange Flite or White Turbo new
So it could go the not perfect used/Black theme, or bright non original or really fancy clean and tidy big spend.
Ideas/comments on a post card!
Cheers
