I was worried it had to be said. It looked very very stark but with the decals I am pretty happy. I have since added PACE decals to the forks and stem and reinstated the cables and I am reasonably happy.

The O is back from the sprayers........ Frame and forks: Untitled by Frank Exchange Of Views, on Flickr Rolling chassis: Untitled by Frank Exchange Of Views, on Flickr Transfers and most major components added: IMG00084-20110409-1702 by Frank Exchange Of Views, on Flickr

Righto slight change of plan here...... I got everything apart yesterday and found all the damage and dirt of 21 years of use. The frame is very heavily damaged, especially on the drive side chain stay. I am guessing I had the chain come off and have used the front mech to put it on with out...

What are the options for fitting tube less tyres/disk brakes? I am wondering about a bit of a rebuild this winter involving a respray and the addition of some choice modern hardware (mainly the aforementioned disks and tubeless tyres; other than that the bike is staying hardcore old skool rigid...

Got the decals, anybody any idea on exactly where they go? Otherwise I am going on my best recollection and where i prefer them. Damo

Saddle stays!! It looks better in real life, it has a nice patina of age, I think its original but I am not sure.

Linky to the my Aluminium O thread....... http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1011253#1011253[/url]

Here are a couple of piccies of the bike as is. A quick wash down this morning reveals it needs new cables, SPDs need a little bit of love and stickers obviously..... Its got a lot more chips than i recall, the top tube and underside of the down tube are particularly chipped...

Ok, i will sling up some piccies of the O as is this weekend

So am I! I am a little nervous about doing the transfers but it should be ok. I am pretty relaxed and patient about that sort of thing so I guess take it easy think it through and it will be fine. I can not wait to ride it with the original shifters, I loved having both shifters under the...

The only other thing i really need are the integrated shifters/brake leavers that shimano did. Any ideas? <edit> hurrah for ebay, i got a set of ST-M092s heading my way

Ought to have the stickers for next week, I got Friday off work so I will post piccies as soon as they are done.

the finish on the O is ok (some chips in the down tube and chain stays) so i am torn between leaving it and going for show room. do you know what the finish on the matt grey/silver O is? I feel like I did 20 years ago when i bought the machine. stuff work i am off up the downs to thrash...

That Gil chap is awesome, popped him of an email and about 20 seconds later I have a proof (including positions, which is lucky because my memory it turns out is rubbish). Yippee I am so excited :shock: :? :x :P 8) 8) :P <edit> oops so excited I forgot to say would it be...

Thats a sweet looking machine! I would be very very happy with those decals The crown looks identical. Mind you part of me is thinking the bike ought to run fully rigid old school so I can show kids younger than my bike what a proper mountain bike can do :-) I wish I still had the original...

Cheers brocklanders..... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Pace-RC35-MXCD-carbon-suspension-forks-/170594300071?pt=UK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR&hash=item27b83670a7#ht_500wt_984 Look good but i am in no rush so might see what else comes up over time, can i swop the legs with the legs on my RC30s...

Basically as long as i beat one suspension bike i reckon that'll do. I have Pace RC30s on the front so am thinking RC35s would be an easy upgrade and are in keeping with the bike. Brakes are deore XT all round (same vintage as the bike) with cool stop blocks on the front and shimano whatevers...

Well I have owned an O for 21 years..... And am wondering if I could do the tour de ben nevis on it this year.... Is a classic Orange good enough to run a serious race this year? Damo
