Hi fellow Orange fans, I’ve just pulled the trigger on what is (I hope!) a mid/late 90s Orange C16-R. I haven’t been able to find any images online of the same model with this exact paintwork. The spec looks very similar to that shown in the ‘97 catalogue, but it doesn’t specify in the...

Very interested in picking this up! As a newbie, I am unable to send direct messages - not sure if poss for you to message me? Love the pink!

The Zig is back in action! Pretty much a full strip down and rebuild over the last month. I haven’t taken the forks apart yet as they seem to be functioning pretty well. Kept things mostly original, with only a couple of parts swapped out, including some Easton Monkeybars to add a bit of rise...

Is this still available?

Both replies extremely helpful, and reassuring. Thank you. There’s life in this Ziggurat yet! Updates promised once it is rebuilt.

I’ve just sunk a solid hour trying to figure out what this bike is / find evidence of it’s existence as a Raleigh online - not found anything!

Evening all! I picked up what I think is a 1990 Raleigh Montage a couple of months ago, very much on a whim, as my first foray into the retro MTB world. It looked in pretty good nick and I loved the light blue colour, so for £20 I thought why not. I was pleased to discover that it was rideable...

Yep I was chuffed about that! I've ordered some replacement bars already to get this back closer to its original setup (albeit a bit wider and with some rise, like what you've gone for). Need some new grips as well. She'll be a commuter and general run-about, at least initially - I don't get a...

I’ve just picked up my own ‘89 Giant Escaper after a long slog on the Elizabeth Line out to Brentwood. I couldn’t resist that colour scheme! Mostly original it seems bar the saddle (which is off an old Muddyfox). It seems this model came with flatter bars so I wonder if the person who originally...
