    1 x 11 - is it time to make the change?

    I've just gone full deore 1x10 on my Orange O2 rebuild as an experiment - everything (including BB and crankset) cost ~£150 on Ebay. I am quite liking the simplicity, and the 11-46 cassette has more than enough climbing range. If you ride a lot on the road/flat, you might miss the bigger...

    1998 Orange O2

    So I'm pretty much done with this. What started as a trip to the LBS to get my old forks and drivetrain serviced turned into a full strip and rebuild, including spending nearly £300 on tools/stand in the process. Damn you RB! It's a practical mix of old and new, saving what I could from the...

    Nice looking Clockwork - Saaaarfend

    Pretty sure disc mounts came after 98 - my 98 O2 doesn't have them... 99?

    Aluminum frame - stripping and polishing advice?

    All done now - see my build thread in the >98 section! Ended up giving up on Nitromors and used Maxolen powerstrip - much more effective. Otherwise exactly the same process - wire wool and stripper, a good clean up, then Mother's ALU polish with some cheap Amazon drill pads... Just have to...

    Marin team titanium - Beaconsfield (17" I think)

    Forks look like Pace RC38 Air force II? And the wheels don't look too bad?
