Re:

You want to repaint it? Why? Looks good as it is to me.
Just bolt on the parts of your choosing and ride :)

Re:

Nice, Can't see a lug point for top-pull front mech. 90-92 Serial number?

----Edit, ah, yes I see it again on for sale section :) silly me--

Have to agree, it's very nice "just as it" is though...

Bottom pull feller got a cable guide welded onto bb shell ile put picture of stripped frame later serial number may show itself later ???
Why u want this did you lose one a long time ago??? :shock:
 
Re:

Naw, not at all :D I just like that era in orange...

Think the 90-93 were superb rides. I'm on my 2nd 92 clockwork frame now, my first was a blue one and legitimately sold after 9 years of hard abuse.

Gaz!? No!!! Please mate, I'm shedding a tear at the thought... :shock:

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

It's untouched since I pulled it out of the box 22 years ago...you can never put the old paint back on! ;)

I know, I know it's not mine anymore. ;)

Still in mourning though...

;)
