G'day mate!I have an old orange hardtail, small I think. I bought it for use with the trail - a - bike but its too small for me. Its got old lx v brakes and sid air forks, running it 1x9 at the moment. Needs a new bb (older race face, Isis I think?), otherwise its in pretty decent nic, rides well!
I paid $100 for it from a fellow burner, you can have it for the same or happy to trade for a 10x cassette & shimano shifter.

Yeah, I have a SRAM 1030 (I think) which is in fine nick. Might be a bit short on links depending what you need it for though...Hahahaa I bet you do, its a ripper of a unit the forks came up golden with an oil change and some new o-rings, could use new dust seals but they still work a treat as is. I put an old wtb seat on it and changed the old worn 3x8 to newer slightly less worn 1x9 stuff, stuck some nicer bars/stem on it and wallah, good as gold. Only problem is I recently gave away the lx crankset and managed to bugger the bb on my old raceface set while installing so now the drive side sits way too far out. (Sorry, I hang my head in shame)
If the king is feeling generous then I'd be happy to reunite you, you don't happen to have a chain too by any chance? Im still happy with the shifter/cassette, but a chain would be gravy

If I get this bike back, I'll be left with two old Oranges again. If I can break the emotional bond, I might let go of the '93 Clockwork at some point. I'll give you first dibs if interested (don't hold your breath though, not sure if I can actually part with it).Kinda hoping you both pull out on this...got a hankering for an old orange myself...and spare 10x parts....but sounds like you are all over it.... out:
I'm cool to wait a day, but still keen.
So no response from plow king, sorry mate, there's a couple of very keen other parties chasing this bike. I'm going to keep the pedals, trail a bike attachment and the speedo, otherwise it is as is. Angry badger, you feel like a short drive to come grab it or are you happy to leave it to moorey?
