I am just getting together the bits for my '98 Orange O2 build, and am after: 1. A 31.6mm seatpost. Original was inline black anodized, orange own brand, but is now very scratched from mud/grit. Anything NOS/new, preferably black 2. QR skewers, 135 and 100mm. Preferably Shimano Deore XT, but...

I am in the process of cleaning up my Orange O2 frame - polished alu which came from the factory with a coating of clear lacquer. The lacquer is quite faded and dull, peeling in places, so I am going for a full strip, polish and new decals from Gil. I have started with Nitromors but it is very...

Thought it was about time I started a build thread having asked loads of questions already! This is my 1998 Orange O2, with a polished alu frame (believe this was a limited edition, doesn't appear in the catalogue). I have owned it from new, having saved up during my first year at University...

I have just started my rebuild to find that both my hubs are shot. Probably easiest to replace the entire wheelset - does anyone have anything suitable they are looking to sell? Mavic x221/231/517 or similar on some good condition hubs, not too fussy. Preferably matching front and rear. To...

For my '98 Orange O2 refresh, I am currently trying to decide whether to replace the drivetrain with new deore 1x10 (expensive option, avaiability is painful atm), or reuse the current RD (XT m739 8sp) and LX shifter and fit a wide-range 8sp cassette (11-40 or 11-42) for a 1x8 setup. I have...

I am looking at buying some 2001 Marzocchi Z2 Atom Race forks, but unfortunately they are missing the v-brake studs. Are these available from anywhere? Anyone know the correct part no/spec? Thanks!

I have a rear wheel from a 1998 bike with an M565 LX hub. Currently fitted with an STX RC 11-28 8 sp cassette. I'd like to use it to build a 1x setup, but can't find much info on compatibility with 10x/11x cassettes? Will the freehub take a deore m6000 or SLX cassette? Thanks!

I am after some forks to rebuild my 1998 Orange O2, as the Marzocchi's that are currently on there are dead. Don't have to be exactly period, but as light as possible and in good condition/serviceable. I am quite light - 72kg - so air forks probably best? 80-100mm travel would be fine. 26" 1...

Not quite how I wanted to introduce myself to the forum - I was hoping for a nice "this is my bike" thread - but I've hit issues that I need help with! I have a 1998 Orange O2 in polished aluminium that I have owned from new. In the mid 2000's I replaced the original RST forks with some...
