ORBO The Prince

[Mr. Monkeyarms]

Not a fan of gum wall tires but perfect for this build! Really diggin' this....

They match like ass on bucket (as we say in Germany, don't know the right translation...)

I don't need any translation. I've been laughing about that for days. Trying work it into my lexicon because it fits me like...
Ass on a bucket!

Speaking of things that fit, seatpost. It is a size, I can't tell you what size though

seatpost

Over at the other place, guy called it a "cheap seatpost"
You're darned skippy, it was cheap, @ingola gave it to me! Thanks again, buddy.

One of the things about Prince was he had a bunch of different nicknames, including an era when The Purple One evolved beyond mere letters. This bike is the same, one such moniker shall be "The Partsbin Prince".

 

[Mr. Monkeyarms]

Purple Partsbin Prince perhaps?

Probably have a better one but we tripped on that one while looking

Spent an hour or so shining it all up. Don't tell her I was working in the laundry room

Sprayed, scrubbed, wiped, washed, and moved to the shop to polish

It's almost impossible to take pictures of a bike in here, but my methods are too messy for out in the open

Special Sauce and a lil bit of buffin and KA POWWW!

You can't really see how good it looks, but here's a bunch of artistic photographs of shiny tubes anyway

That's as clean as it'll ever get for the rest of its life
