I’m rebuilding an Orange C16RS and was fitting the bottom bracket. https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/orange-c16rs-build-thread.432947/ I stripped the bike years ago and can’t remember correct BB length. I have UN70 length about 122mm, which I thought came off it. But I also have a UN52 in...

Been a long time since I built a bike. about six years ago a friend gave an Orange C16RS frame as he knew I liked old bikes. unfortunately my friend recently passed away from cancer so this bike is a bit of a tribute. Frame: Orange C16RS (1995?) Fork: Orange F7 Headset: Shimano HP-M737...

This wheel was given to me about 20 years ago. I tried it a couple of times out of curiosity but never really used it much. So it is a Campagnolo Record large flange fixed hub. With a bit of polish it would come up nice. Fitted with a sprocket but no lock ring. I used it without. Just the thing...

These wheels were given to me approximately 20 years ago as a spare set and I never really used them. They are Miche hubs with Mavic MA2 700c rims. The rear rim looks almost new with no braking wear. The front has seen a little use but not very much. There is some light rust to the eyelets...

I need to clear the fleet a little and raise sum funds for current project. So this one has to go. Its a Dave Quinn 531c frame, I've had it since the mid 90s but i'm guessing its probably early 90s. Nicely lugged frame, would look great repainted or you could just use it as it is. It has...

After a quill stem for my Orange C16 project. Needs to be 1" quill stem. Not too bothered about cosmetic condition as i may have it painted with the forks and frame. Don't want to spend mage-bucks. Cheers Gary

Hi bought this for a project but I need 1". So this is an 1 1/8" headset, I've never used it but it appears in good condition and complete. It was tricky to photograph as the bit with the XT logo has like a mirror finish. It is in better condition than the photo suggests. Yours for just £25...

I have for sale a GB road jersey I purchased from the Manchester Velodrome in 1995 or possibly 96. Seem to remember watching Chris Boardman lashing round the velodrome in a similar strip! I hardly wore the jersey back in the day and it has been stuck in a cupboard since, so it is excellent...

I have for sale a 2005 Orange Gringo, 19" frame. I am having to thin the fleet down a little and this hasn't been built up for a while. Good solid hard tail frame that I enjoyed riding. I had to sacrifice the parts to build my son a bike! Solid condition, although cosmetically the wear and tare...

Hi Got my self an Orange C16RS that was short of some forks. Picked up some F7 forks on ebay but they are nickel plated. Can you powdercoat over nickel plate or does it have to be removed? Can it easily and safely removed? Thanks

Hi Gradually bringing my old Dave Quinn back to life. It was dropping the chain at the front with new chain and chainring. Front derailleur was well adjusted, so I checked the chain line which measured 50 mm from between the two rings to the centre of the downtube. My understanding is this...

Got a text from a mate the other day who was clearing out his garage. He knew I was into Retrobike so asked if I wanted an old frame. And here it is Orange C16RS. Anyone know the significance of the RS? only heard of the C16R. It also included the bits attached, including the XLite seat post...

Probably going to regret this but I have decided to sell my Orange Aluminium O. It's hardly been used since the build. Full details can be found on the build page (the white bike! towards the bottom): http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=135722&start=60 The only thing that has...

I'm after a 32h Stheno rim so I can build a back wheel to match my front. Preferably dark grey CD finish. May consider a 36h if necessary. Alternatively I may consider a rim that is a similar cosmetic match. Let me know if you have anything suitable for reasonable money. Thanks.

My son wants a new bike and wants us to build one. I'm probably Going to break one of my bikes for bits. So I'm looking for a suitable frame, small/15-16". I'm thinking XC hardtail, reasonable quality, in either good condition or if it is tatty cheap enough so I can get it powder coated...

I'm building up a new wheel on a Pace carbon hub but want to replace the sticker before hand. A friend of a friend has offered to make a vinyl decal for me but has asked if I have file or jpeg of the logo. Anyone got a file of the logo in the attachment below? Any idea of the correct...

Just sarted building up a new single speed bike based on a Cannondale m400 frame. Fitted the rear wheel and found the rim offset to the none drive side by about 10mm. I haven't used the wheel before bought it off here ages ago. Checked it with my dishing gauge which confirmed the wheel is offset...

First up a pair blue ano Answer Hyper bar ends. Good serviceable condition and they really are light. For weight weenies they only weigh 160g for the pair on the digital kitchen scales. A few scratches and scuffs where they have lent against a wall. Done my best to show on the photos. Yours...

Pair of silver Tiagra Hubs front and rear including skewers. Bought them of eBay with a view to building a set of wheels and never got round to it, so have never ridden them personally but they look perfectly serviceable. Yours for just £20 including UK postage. Dibs and then PM please...
