1990 Orange Aluminum "O" prototype - The Iceman returns.
- Thread starter boy"O"boy
- Start date
@JCS Thanks! The smallest of nods to it's previous incarnation but felt it needed some reference as it has become known as 'The Iceman'
Smallest of updates too.
Custom stalk stripped and repainted in gloss black. Got it back from clear coat this afternoon.
Build planned for this weekend. More update pics coming soon.
Cheers all.

And the Iceman prototype is finally finished!
Sounds like an acceptance speech but....
Massive thanks to -
@Cheshire1980 for the initial sale
@KOMRAID for the respray
@gil_m for the decals
@RetroRider_IT for the Mavic wheelset
@ratcapa for the Chainset and saddle.
@synlos for the Syncros reproduction post.
But the biggest thank you has to go to @MartyP
If it hadn't been for Martin's diligence....the Iceman would have never returned to me after being lost by the Evri network.
2 years lost....goes to show that you should never give up hope.
The end result is without doubt one of the nicest bikes I own. It is also the earliest Aluminium Orange out there! - even Orange don't have this in their museum/ collection!
Well chuffed.
Cheers all.

AMAZING build (again!) @boy"O"boy
And even more amazing you actually got this back from the Evri nightmare. Who would have thought that was ever possible.
Great to see it entered in BOTM too!

@boy"O"boy I haven't been on RB for a while and have only just seen this. So so pleased the frameset was finally found. Looks amazing! Congrats on a fantastic build.
