1991 Orange Aluminium 'O' 18" Complete Bike For Sale

[OldTimer]

After 2 years of sitting in my garage, and 8 years in the previous owners loft, it's time to move this very original spec bike on.

It's an 18" Orange Aluminium O in Silver with a mix of DX (sat between LX & XT BITD), XT and STX RC.

Currently fitted with Marzocchi MXC Air fork it also comes with the original rigid fork.

The paintwork and stickers are scratched but it's generally in very good condition. It is in full working order and rideable as is, or easily converted back to a full retro classic. The fork lowers (Marz) are pretty scratched too, but the stanchions only have a small mark on them and work perfectly, they have recently had new oil & seals.

I bought this a while back as I had one the same in my youth, but I've hardly ridden it, so it's time to move it on to someone who will get more enjoyment from it.

I'm looking for £200. It can be picked up or I can deliver locally (Somerset) or I can arrange for it to be sent by next day delivery, at an agreed cost.

The spec is as follows -

Frame: Orange Aluminium O 18" (Centre of BB to top of top tube)
Forks: 2002 Marzocchi MXC Air 100mm & original rigid fork
Crankset: Deore DX (original, new BB)
Pedals: Deore DX cage (original)

Rear Mech: Deore DX (original)
Shifters: DX Rapidfire 7x3 (original)
Brakes: STX RC V type

Please fell free to ask any questions. I'm happy to email more photos.

Bugger, :x

One of my most important must-have's from BITD, and I can't justify it until I get a new job...... :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

If it's still available when I get a job, I'll gnaw your arm off for it please, as it's the colour I want as well... :roll: :cry: :cry: :cry:

 

[OldTimer]

I know what you mean. I got this because I had one exactly the same when they were new. I just seem to ride my other bikes more...
Thanks for the interest anyway.

 

[ShiftySteve]

Dibbs!
Sending PM now.

 

[OldTimer]

Sold!

 

[ShiftySteve]

Woohoo!

 

[GT-Steve]

congrats on the sale,


I'll still shed a couple of these tho... :cry: :cry:

 

[ShiftySteve]

How can you possibly be sad with project 'virgin' in the shed?!!

 

[GT-Steve]

Yeh 'virgin' might end up being a garage queen, and the 14yr old in me wanted this, from 20yrs ago

Can't justify it without a job at the moment tho, the missus'd kill me.

 

[ShiftySteve]

Well, it's here already and packaging could not be better.

I think i just got a bit of a bargain, which doesn't happen too often.

Nuff respect to Oldtimer. - as the yoof of today would express their gratitude.

I'll make sure i post the build pics and promise to treat her kindly.

Thanks.
