Ending in about an hour if anyone interested?

Just listed my former pride and joy, not been ridden in years... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/285979992030

Sold to Caramba Kid. Enjoy the bike, I'll definitely miss it.

and finally...

and some more...

Thought the fact that the photos were a bit old was not ideal so here's some photos taken today...

Re: I've had a couple PMs very interested and basically I'll let it go to the first person who commits to the price and collecting it. If anyone wants to speak to me about it then PM me and I'll send my phone number. Note these photos were taken in 2007, bike now doesn't have those...

Re I'd say neither. power transfer is incredibly direct (my new bike is a Scott Spark Ltd and the Orange probably accelerates better). Haven't ridden a steel or alu bike for years so guess the titanium just takes away some of the harshness.

I bought this new in 1995 (from 2XS in West Wittering) but would now like to sell it. Up until last year was my only bike but wasn't ridden for many years after purchase (house, family etc took priority). When I returned to riding a few years ago I replaced most parts with quality modern...

Do you still have the PACE RC38 AirForce, 1" for sale? Can I double check you are meaning it has a 1" steerer? (I didn't realise Pace carried on supplying 1" forks this late). Do you know if the travel can be reduced (so as to not throw the geometry out too much on my 1" headtube'd frame)...

Thanks Retrobikeguy and Fat Mike! Initially I thought I had missed a bargain as the only other one I could see from this seller was $50 plus shipping, however doing a search revealed he also had another two for $19.99 plus shipping. That should keep my bike running for a few more years...

OK Mountainbike-Kult.de thank you for your reply. I will consider it for few days and see what else appears. The Speed-Tec certainly looks interesting with the bolted lockring.

I'm after a new 1" MTB threaded headset. Does anyone have one lurking or has anyone seen one sitting the cabinet of your local bike shop? Thanks in advance :)

Have removed so many perfectly working parts from my bike that it occurred to me that I have enough bits to build a bike for the missus. So am after something cheap (<£60), small (16" ish) ideally old but smart cosmetic condition. Female-specific frame considered. Frame and forks wanted...

Thanks to JS1500 for the tip off re Jez, I will contact him. Thanks to Dave_H for the compliment about the bike. I keep wondering if I am wasting my time trying to make the VitT2 any lighter given the monstrous weight of the forks but it is still cheaper than buying a new bike and it is great...
