Looking to refresh a 1992 Orange Prestige, not at all interested in keeping her 'period correct', looking to give this old classic a completely new lease of life, giving her a new paint job and a complete overhaul using where possible newer (or at least superior) parts and componentry. In other words I don't want the bike to be a concourse tier museum piece, rather a bike fit for throwing down trails in 2021.
The bike is currently in the mail, so I can't post any pics or give specifics about its current set up, of course I'll provide all that just as soon as I can.
Been lurking here for a while so I know a lot of you lads have bags of experience with these bikes, I'm hoping you can help me to make the best choices, I'm particularly interested in finding the following parts. with a focus on quality and lighter would be better, although I will go for those parts that have a proven track record when it comes to reliability and durability.
*Bottom bracket
*Headset
*1 x 10/11/12 group set and crank
Thanks in advance, this is a great site and I'm looking forward to learning from you.
