ORBO Raleigh Dyna

[Son of Kradus]

I’m actually thinking of getting another build on the go for 2024 and I’m not great at competition’s tbh, I’ll have a think about it though, I’d sooner just share the build‘s as I go

skip mate its all good, if you just want to build at leisure then go for it, i'll still happily check in on your progress, its important to remember that these build offs are fun based! no pressure.....having said that guess who missed the last deadline by about 4 hrs ha ha ha !

Explain why you have the zip ties always looking for tricks to make my life easier

Sure no problem, the original guides that were riveted are missing so the zip ties are being used temporarily to hold in place the huge dia outer housings that run 2mm inner wire until I can either 3d print or find originals

Love how you pay attention to every little detail the mounting bolts match the frame

Remember that Third Hand tool I bought at Brian's? Zip ties are cheaper lol

The zip ties are to hold it in place quit finding excuses not to use the tool not everything can be fixed with a hammer and adjustable spanner

I used it once, can prove it. Here it is on Bonefish

Not as effective as zip ties, as pads must be mounted, but on the plus side, it works with u brakes

U-brakes? U-brakes? Did someone say something about U-brakes?

One of my oldest and most used tools in my tool box! I think I bought mine somewhere in the late 90ties, when I was into race bikes?

So with the paint hardened on the frame and the parts bin raided , now inbetween other project I’m playing around with build ideas again on this one..

Some old wheels gets the chassis off the floor and into a rolling state, decided to run the bigger 2mm cables throughout the bike to offer crisper shifting and braking , the grey colour fits well,, Orange manufactured F7 forks go in , all held together with a dia comp low stack headset, an Easton Ec90 stem clamps it down with some colour matched steel headplate bolts and the Easton Ea70 monkeylight riser bars are fitted to offer slightly better control with a whopping 600mm width , going with the Shimano XT refinished black seatpost for now and the red turbo saddle, not sure if I should go period correct Shimano on this build so looking at bringing in a contender..

So far so good! Love the paint job, and I especially love your use of zip-ties on the brakes! Keep it up!

Interesting spoke lacing on that rear wheel. I never had the confidence to run something like that on any of my mtn or cyclo-cross bikes.
Beautiful build!!............

Thank you very much, it’s widely know round these parts that I can be more industrial when needed I found rubber bands my no.1 normal go too on this occasion didn’t work , which surprised even me

Thank you very much , appreciate the kind words, these wont be the wheels used for the final build , they are more placeholders , I’ve used them however on quite a few occasions, maybe because I’m quite light on a bike that I don’t usually find that I destroy much kit tbh ( I have raced with radial front and 3 and 2x radial on the rears with no issue , although on the rear radial doesn’t offer any real advantages at all , more disadvantages apart from aesthetics tbh ,…what can I say I’m an xc race tart ! ) , it’s when the wheels are pushed beyond there design and build up spec’s problems occur , give it a go , worst can happen is a wheel failure and as long as your vigilant you should be able to hear or see that before it becomes a safety issue

Replacement decals from Lloyd’s arrive ..
