Welcome to another one of my Oranges, and if you’ve seen my other ones (ST4 & Gyro) you will see a theme of me buying frames and building them up from spares from my Mancave. This 2014 Five is no different. It came to me minus a shock but in exceptional condition with very little wear on it at...

This was a late night eBay purchase, wasn’t even looking for one but I hit the offer button and it was accepted. It’s a Size Large 2011 ST4 and has seen very little use so pivots and linkage all nice with no play. Again like my Gyro, and infact most of my Oranges it was a parts bin build. it’s a...

So a few weeks ago I had the opportunity to purchase this 2014 Orange Gyro Frameset from @letmetalktomark who I have been riding with so had seen the bike all built up. Now I’ve a collection of Oranges and also boxes of spare parts so it wasn’t too difficult to get it built up from my spare...

Hi all, so after missing out on a couple of sets of levers I thought I'd put up a wanted post. Basically I am after a pair, don't mind what colourway black bodies silver levers or silver bodies black levers. Oh and need them to be reasonably tidy and affordable. *I have the V Brakes so not...

Good evening all, so I have another 1997 Orange X1 frame which has a Hope Disc Brake adapter fitted to it. Sadly the bleed valve is sheared so I’m not sure I can extract it. But I was after some info on it. What hub is compatible with it? Normal 26” disc wheels don’t fit. I would love to make an...

The last time I rode my 1997 Orange X1 was at The Malverns Classic last year in the Retro XC event, sadly I’m unable to go this year due to work but it hasn’t stop me from dusting down the X1 giving it a quick service and then taking it out on sun drenched trails for a nice warm 10’miler today...

Not one to pass up the chance to save a bike from certain death, even if it is one of the more bizarre looking bikes, my impulsive nature dragged this 1990 Haro Impulse from skip heaven, and on a budget got it back up to a rideable and quite presentable condition. It was never going to be a...

Oh dear, Oh dear, what have I done again lol, Not content with my Orange X1's and the quirky URT rear ends, this monstrosity now sits in the cave. Originally starting as a frame only, my Orange parts bin was raided and soon it became what you see here. I know a few of you have seen this at the...

Good evening Retrobikers, its been a while since I posted a new build, but I finally had a spare window of opportunity to post up a new addition to the Smiff Stable, and for once its not an Orange lol Welcome to my GT RTS-2, what started as just a frame with a rather dodgy rear shock, basically...
