Thanks mate. Yeah I guess maybe it’s a little too new to get much attention but I’ve really enjoyed putting it all together over the last few weeks Thanks for the positive comments. Especially on the kitchen. Much appreciated

So she’s finished... would be interested to hear your thoughts Interesting thing is, it turned out not to be a Msisle at all, and in fact a SubZero. At first this upset me but actually they were very similar bikes and actually will be a bit more versatile not being such a slack hard tail...

Re: Re: Too late mate... I’ve taken the msisle sticker off at least, I can’t ha dmr it being wrong, but the others actually look the same to be honest so I’ll keep them on. I might give the good people at Orange another call to see if they have any subzero decals kicking around but I reckon...

Re: Re: No I’ve not gone any factory colour luckily! I went Nardo Grey. So that’s a good point as well. Thanks. I’m starting to feel better about it

Well no actually. I found out that I had a subzero by trawling through an archived orange catalogue from 1999, and the sub was actually £200 dearer than the msisle for some reason. It seems it was more of an all rounder than a dedicated jump bike, which actually suits me I guess. The only...

Mystery solved..... it’s a sub zero not a MsIsle.... great. How bothered should I be? I bought this bike to do some jumps with and blast through town

So I am restoring this frame. I’ve just had it powdercoated and have all the bits to put on it..... but looking through all the pictures of orange msisles on google, I can’t see a single one with rear dropouts like mine??? Is it not a msisle? And how could it have different dropouts to all the...

This could be cool, keep it up

Ok not much interest on here so far it seems... it I don’t blame you as progress is slower than I had hoped for. However I’ll keep updating nevertheless. So all parts are ordered now. I settled on some entry level shimano disc brakes, race face seatpost and Nukeproof seat. It’s a dh seat but I...

No I’m changing all the colours. So the forks are all taken apart and being serviced at the moment as I have no idea how long ago they were last done. And they e been spray painted by a primary school child from what I can tell. So they’ve going to be going back to Black. The frame is being...

Sorry. These are all in reverse order. But you get the jist

Re: Thanks for the photo advice ... and the strong direction on colour So here is the poor old girl. A total mish mash of parts And progress so far on the frame

Hi guys. I’m new to the forum but not to biking. FIRST THINGS FIRST, CAN SOMENE TELL ME HOW TO UPLOAD IMAGES?? THIS THREAD WILL BE RUBBISH WITHOUT ANY. Secondly, is this bike even "Retro" enough to warrant being in here? If not please move to the right place... but I'd seen a couple of other...
