1993 Orange Vitamin T

[gtturbo]

I've had this a while but only just got around to sorting out a few bits and bobs. Purchased from the original owner this is quite possibly the least used Vit T out there. Looking at the rims, brake pads etc. it's literally done no miles.

First up the elastomers in the rc35's were toast. @johndeverill supplied some replacements.

I think these have seen better days.



Replacements ready to fit.



So after a bit of work I had a pretty mint pair of forks.



Next up was a bit of worming to the paint on the stem. As the rest of the bike is so clean that wasn't going to work so a respray and new decals from Gil later.



I really wanted to cut the cable hanger off the stem as I obviously don't need it with the current forks but for now I've resisted the tempatation to give me options at a later date.

To be honest the rest just needed a little clean and that was it. Some new tan walls fitted and we have this nice original bike. Yours for £2450 back in 93, I have the original receipt.

What a stunner! In such great condition as well. What a find...

For me personally, the Vit T is the ultimate orange

Super looking bike! Deserves to be entered in BOTM…

Wow, that is epic.

2.5k in 1993! That was probably more money than a lot of cars back then.

Classic
A real gem to have one in showroom condition. Like the fact you have an Orange saddle, and not a flite

Thats just under £6000 in todays money.

What would £6k buy you new now?

That's a beauty!

Just about my only retro regret was selling my mint 93 Vit.
