    Orange Dynamo road bike information

    All I know is they didn't make many, and they're quite popular when they come up for sale. Think there were two variants, one with a wishbone - which was the latter I spent a good while looking for one but ended up buying a NOS RX9 that someone had lying around (as you do!)

    Tektro made sweet levers BITD

    They look really nice with the ano/polished finish.

    USE bars advice

    Could always see if you could get a local machine shop to make you up a solid bung from a bit of aluminium to a reasonably tight fit to prevent compression. Could glue/bond it into the end of the bar, or even use the existing bar end mounting hole to pop a bevelled bolt through - which would...

    USE bars advice

    I can't see it being an issue unless you overtighten - the hole is only on one side and reasonably small/inboard. I've got the bars/ends - not sure I'd like to ride them in anger as the fixing must put strain on the hole.

    Tektro made sweet levers BITD

    Very nice, and similar in design to Real. Barrel adjusters look like a bit of an afterthought though.

    Very strange "Michael Schumacher" bike

    Looks like the offspring of a GT RTS and a Whyte PRST... and not in a good way.

    Orange P5 frame No. MT 807.08245 Can anyone date the frame. Would be grateful for any help.

    So the disc tab looks the same as mine now I'm looking at the pics on a monitor and not my phone. Looks like a Hope headset in there, which is good - and should do you well. Original paint would have been sprayed, and there was also a nickel finish. The 1997 catalogue is linked below...

    It looks quite small. They did go quite little. I have a Clockwork that is probably the same size - maybe 14 inch

    Orange P5 frame No. MT 807.08245 Can anyone date the frame. Would be grateful for any help.

    I believe 807 would be July 98. Forward facing seat clamp (see the slit) makes it after 97ish when they swapped from rear facing. Rear disc mount looks slightly different to mine (a 97) but still similar so may well be original. I’ll have a look tonight

    Wanted GT Talera Frame - must be same as in pic on thread

    Thanks Dom. I got in touch with the guy from St Helens over the weekend but it’s flat blue rather than the patterned finish. Was all excited. I will find one!!

    Wanted GT Talera Frame - must be same as in pic on thread

    Thanks for the offer, but it’s that particular paint job I’m looking for as it’s the one I had when I was 14

    Must have gone by now. How hard is it to bother to respond to someone? FB marketplace really is the dregs of selling.
