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

Put the lens of the cemera close to the tube woth some light behind you or from the side and you can capture the bling bling pretty good.

Looks really nice so far!!
