Orange 'Wonkwork' 1998

Re:

Cheeky!
my eyes are fine for driving, well the IAM thought so anyway.
For anything within a radius of 3 foot I have to use sonar.
I like the bold colours you've chosen, Will. I was going to be boring and keep it original (but ditching the mainly Alivio group it came with!) I wanted it to be similar to my 'moon blue' 97/98 Clockwork I had bitd right down to the mango manitou spyders :facepalm:
I have a nice red angry Orange saddle for sale that would look nice with your build - sorry for shameless thread hijack... keep up the good (wonk) work.
 
Re:

Alivio! How very dare you! The rear mech was STX RC at least!

The rest, now you mention it, I’m not so sure about…

Anyway that’s all gone and to be replaced with:

Shifters – XT M739
Rear Mech – XT M739
Front Mech – XT M739
Levers – DX Red
Brakes – DX Red
Brake boosters – Fred Salmon Blue
Pads – Skyway Yellow
Bars/Stem – Fred Salmon Red
Grips – Lock-on Yellow
Cables - Yellow
Headset – Hope Red
Forks – Judy SL Yellow
Cranks – White Industries (Sugino) Silver
Rings – Talon Red/Blue/Red
Pedals – Odyssey Bear Trap – Red cage
Seatpost – generic Silver
Seat clamp - TBC
Saddle – Selle Italia Flight Yellow
Wheels – LX
Skewers – Fred Salmon Blue
Tyres – Splashbacks Amberwall

Just waiting for a few key bits then it’ll be bolted together!

Re:

Sweet. A wee trip on that in the sunshine would make me smile. And I'd be looking for yellow, blue and red chainring bolts - primary colours for the primary drive 8)

Back from the bike shop for tuning, now rides like a bike built by someone that knows what they’re doing...
