My beloved uncle eventually accepted that he won't ever ride it again, so offered me his 1990 Clockwork Orange. It was white and orange from the factory and he had it repainted after adding new braze-ons for racks and cages. He used it to tour Eire and the highlands and Islands over many summers. Its hung in his garage unused for the last 15 years or so.
I've been pining for an early steel, rigid mountain bike but haven't been in a position to buy one, so I'm really chuffed with it. Its a bit older that I'd have preferred, being about the last generation of MTB to have an horizontal top tube, inch steerer and 21speed pre-compact, but I shall cherish it nonetheless.
I've had a lovely pair of Panaracer tyres just waiting for the right bike to come along. And a ratty old Flyte.
How it looks today:
How it looked on Sunday:
The seatpost moved freely, but the crank caps and pedals are *very firmly attached*, so that's a job for another day.
