Aluminium Ohhh
Retro Guru
I have a Orange Aluminium O circa 1993 which I have owned now for close on 18 years (second owner)
It still has most of the original partson from when I bought it
Pace RC35 Atmosphere Balanced
Hope Hubs
Mavic 217 rims
Mavic Headset
XTR Canti brakes
XT front & rear mech - these were replaced around 12-15 years ago
Suntour XC Pro crank
XT cassette
Hyperlite bars
Avocet saddle
USE seatpost
It finally got a good strip down and rebuild last weekend and I weighed varoius components when off the bike
I was suprised that although the frame weighs only 2.28KG (5lb) (inc headset) the bike overall weighs 15KG 33lb
Im sure I read somewhere about an 'O' that was around 24lb - was this my imagination?
Any thought ideas to reduce weight or is this about right for the era?
