Dave Yates and Orange Prestige.....Both finished builds p.5
- Thread starter sinnerman
- Start date
Been having a bit of a drama with the correct choice of tyres too. The old faithfull for me is the Panaracer Timbuk II, but by the 92/93 model year Ritchey was suppling the excellent Z-max.
Thanks to Jeff, (first flight bikes)....the retro world can rest easy, as im sure most of the retro community know, he has thankfully been the contributing factor of the re-introduction of both types of tyres.
The Z-Max evolution looks like a great tyre, (although i have yet to use the new evo)...its light and foldable kevlar.
To my mind the Z-MAX could be the more obvious choice...... :?

Just wanted to add this to this thread, due to the relevance of it...!!!
Wanted to say a big thankyou to Nevadasmith for scanning this and posting it......top fella, and fellow RETRO biker and steel horse fan....
A good period read for any fan of steel horses...., LEGENDS like salsa, Chas Roberts, Dave Yates, and Serotta.

These are looking promising builds...!
Got a review of the Prestige from MBUK November '92 if it's any use? Apologies for the poor photos, hopefully it's still readable -
And some from the Orange '92 catalogue (I realise yours is a '91, though!)
Will be keeping a close eye on your Prestige in particular as I'm near completing mine...
Cheers,
Matty
