[DynaCol]

Shinobi... of course you have the aluminum o that's says Icemans... cool find that.. haven't seen a bottom bracket like that before..

It does seem unusual , no frame number either ?
the BB and bar / stem are mentioned in this review

I wanted that Prototype 'O' in the review sooo much when I bought that edition of Mountain Biker. Definitely on my list of bikes to own one day (probably need to get the Prestige finished first though :facepalm: ), would have to be orange and white fade.

Ditto with that prototype O...

Lovey bikes! I am an Orange fan - I have 3 P7's which I am trying to restore to their original state after having my immaculate prize 97 bike stolen last year.
PM me if there's any particular groupsets or components that you require because I have a few from this era?
Cheers TM

Re:

Dude, lovely bikes!! I wonder if you can help...
I have a stripped O frame in the loft and I've been searching in vain for a colour match to get it repainted the Matt Silver.
Have either of yours been repainted?
If you do decide to get the white one done, is there any chance you could share the paint code with me?
I really wanna get the colour spot on!
Cheers
Col

Hi Col, both are the original Matt silver paint.. not resprayed.. not sure what the paint code is on these... I could take some very close up/sharp pictures of the frame for you when am back from holiday, and a top paint specialist should be able to do a very close identical match. But obviously my pictures will need to be done with a powerful camera.. if you pm your email.. later this month will take some detailed pics.. hope this helps Col.. m)

Nice Orange collection. I notice that they don't have wishbone seat stays, which my old Clockwork had and my current E3 and P7 have.

Thanks for kind comments... yes the aluminum o never had wishbones.. renowned for the box shaped tubing at the rear end. The same with the Aluminum elite, no wishbones, & some of the Vit t's did not have a wish bones also..
