So as promised, due to some unforeseen missing bits, here are some build pics.

So far headset and forks fitted.

Stealth reverb threaded and set up. BB and drivetrain to follow. Bit wet to be out side with the work stand.

Does a five really need a chainstay protector with the chainstay all the way up there?

An Orange in Yeti colours doesn’t seem right IMHO.. 😳

Great colour

Yeah nice colour, same colour as my kitchen! 😆

lovely but i’m still concerned about the plastering in the background

To be fair, they started it….

🙂

Nice colour op.

Yer cable’s, nope not on the bike, in the background.. on the extension lead…

Tidy that up please, ta.

Nice colour bike 😉

No arguing it’s a nice colour!

Ha Ha no wood burner!!! 🙂

Argh yes NHS green (well turquoise sitting on the fence between green and blue) only bettered by battleship grey 😉

Looking good nearly ready for some rock smashing 🙂

Ha ha ha we only moved into our first house last year and had an electric fire out in. That plastering is just where the old plug socket was moved.

We are doing that room in a few months time.

I love the green (mountain mint).

The builds stopped now as Orange seem set in causing me no end if comparability issues! Is mount break now.

Nice Bike OP. Would look great with some custom colour matched Fork Decals……

(go the extra mile, you know you want too……. 😆 )

Oh and the chain stay protector came with the bike, thought I might as well use it.

I’ve got the standard gold decals to go on. The orange were matched to the bike they came off.

The non kashima shock is annoying my OCD ha

It’s the chainring set at 90 degrees off that’s setting my ocd on edge.

I’m not surprised you couldn’t afford a workstand, the price of them Orange frames.

To be fair, they started it….

😆

You have very soft and friendly looking hands

I have a work stand lol it was up in the kitchen!

I bet you say that to all the girls boys…… 😆

Really like the colour. Dos it have a technical name / RAL number? looking to spray a frame in this / very similar colour.

Orange call it mountain mint

RAL 6027 is “Bianchi Celeste”

Looks good, I like them new style decals better than the 2014 ones..might swap mine for some of those..
Your build reminds me of mine, although I don’t have a work stand. I have the lord of the rings trilogy to prop mine up..

cheers Bregante. That looks a little paler? could just be the google pics.

I have the lord of the rings trilogy to prop mine up..

All 4 volumes 🙂

Doesn’t matter what colour they paint it, it’s still a godamned ugly frame. All about the ride though ain’t it.

All about opinion isn’t it. Beauty is in the eye and all that.

C’mon lets not be mean about someones new ride? That’s someones new child!
Love the colour, looks a good spec too. Enjoy!

My mate has stuck an order in this week for a Fizzy Orange frame. He’s not on here but I’ve directed him to this thread and he’s now cursing me. 😆

4th one is the Silmarillion..

All I see is.

Actually I think that’s a really nice color for an orange, very frustrating getting a new grant but not all the bits to finish it !

Looks amazing, I’ve been convincing myself for a long time not to spend £200 on a factory respray but I absolutely love it. May well be tempted in the near future!!

Yeah yeah, nice bike OP. Hope you intend to clean that chainset properly before you fit it…

I like the colour of the bike, but for some reason your hand repulses me 😯

What a bizarre and offensive comment.

Have you never heard the saying “if you’ve got nothing good to say…”

Sorry to offend I didn’t think the comment would be taken as anything other than a bizarre comment made by a random internet stranger. You didn’t have a lawn or fence I could comment on. However, I am aware of the saying and did state ‘I like the colour of the bike’, but your hand did turn my stomach a bit. It doesn’t seem as bad now, so perhaps it was a bit early and I was feeling a little delicate. I didn’t realise you were also so delicate, so my apologise, and I hope you enjoy the bike.

I trust your redecoration will include redoing the flooring properly to get rid of the quadrant moulding. I like the colour, but would dispense with the protector. Fingers are a little plump.

Did this Saturday build ever get finished? Was interested to see it.
