    cheap 26" Tyres at banana industries

    I ordered some of the folding Z Max in 26" and was really impressed with them and quick delivery. They do come up narrow (more like a 1.9) but bang on 500g which is pretty light... So I ordered another pair... and some 26"Peyotes... and some CX tyres... and some handlebars... I was going to get...

    Pricing an Orange E4 frame

    Just for info, I bought a really nice, lightly used E4 frame 6 months ago for £70. Great, light frames and that one looks like a 99 model as the rear dropouts were different on the 98👍

    Retro bike racing

    Many thanks! Zoom was the first section of MBUK that I used to read! I only have a handful of issues from the early 90's but the race reports and pics are still ace :)

    Retro bike racing

    Here are a few photo's from the Retro XC Race at Cannock Chase at the weekend. Bloomin freezing, pretty muddy but fantastic fun! I rode my 98 Orange E4 and my son raced his 92 Aluminium Elite and there were some other fab bikes on the start line including a De Kerf, a KHS, a Raleigh, a couple of...

    Orange clockwork '92 groupset conundrum.

    It's a bit of a strange one but this has come up in one of the Orange FB groups. It appears that there was a bit of a cross over with Orange fitting some later 92 model bikes with the 93 LX groupset (the article indicates from July onwards). Here's my original 92 framed (frame number is May...

    Orange clockwork '92 groupset conundrum.

    I'm pretty sure that in the early 90's, the LX was the lowest spec model of each range. I've a 92 Clockwork but it's a late model with the 93 Deore LX groupset. I vaguely remember seeing mid 90's Clockworks offered with Alivio. They were also available as a frameset so any period parts will...

    ok, so Orange, it sucks but alot of us love them, shows us all your Oranges over the years!

    As a teenager, the early Clockworks were my dream bikes. They were out of my budget but they seemed to be the best value lightweight XC bike on the market. I remember going to the Malverns in 90 & 91 and orange and white Clockworks (and Prestiges), with riders in the distinctive black and orange...
