Endohopper Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 What is ... you mean - umm . Is it ... how ? Is this the actual long promised Orange / Ashton collaboration , or a neat paintjob and stickering ? Either way , looks great and your choice of brakes is excellent .

JohnyMilton Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 Looks the sex in white, but shame about the headtube, strath told me about it. I think I also looked at buying that frame aswell, lol!Il txt you about coming down to ride! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26inch Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 for your headset, either get a real deep press one. shim it with some thin metal or. the ultimate committed bodge cut a slit up the headtube with a hacksaw then use a big jubilee clip to squeeze it back together, prob not a very good idea on an alu frame though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
