'92 Orange Clockwork
Bought this bike new over 20 years ago, still in regular use and brilliant to ride.

Love the old Oranges, did you buy it in the UK?

Yeah, bought it with me when I moved here from London. My wife rides a '98 Orange O2 we got pretty cheap off ebay - also an awesome bike.

Mine's a P7, bought it off an English bloke here but it reminded me of home anyway. Classic sort of Pennines bikes.

Awesome Orange, Angrybadger!
Paging fatman! I picked this '96 LTS-2 up from fatman a couple of months back now. I wanted something to hang my growing collection of 'rider' condition vintage stuff off. I also bought a '96 Avalanche about the same time, with a '96 Judy SL, but Toll Ipec have lost that one. Hopefully it will eventually turn up so I can use the fork in this.
As received, a bit oxidised and had some heavy bikerack scars in the TT
After some fun times with the mothers powerball and powermetal polish it looks like this:
I mocked up most of the bits I will use, XT M737/XTR M900 mix, of course the maguras will be complete (I'm refinishing the calipers of one set at the moment), will have a headset etc. Still need a front derailleur (M900 XTR or M737 XT 31.8 bottom pull) and a fork as the Mach 5 sitting in it is stuffed (one pushrod broke off at the footbolt....anyone got a Judy DH/SL or Mach 5 parts donor for me?). Also building another pair of wheels with silver XM317 rims and Hadley-GT rear, XT 737 front hubs.

The San Andreas from Ebay arrived last Tuesday. Spent some time putting this thing back together today, and
besides from the cracked MRP nylon roller and disintegrating rubber stops on the Boxxer, this beast is showroom mint.
Not one scratch, scuff or blemish. Even with $900 shipping + custom/quarantine, I consider it a bargain.

I'm sorry, for a moment there I thought you said $900 shipping!
Love the San Andreas. Had 2, wished I'd kept them. Enjoy.
