Neil Orrel 531 - Fruit Salad

Just made half the payment to secure this badboy as mine.
Since selling the Fort and getting the Gangsta I've missed having a proper tarck bike to rip around on and this came up and will do the trick perfectly.

The Gangsta is receiving swept back bars, front rack and brakes while this will move into everyday fast bike business.

It's currently kitted out in some really lush silver track parts, which I plan to replace with full black build kit.

H+Son Archetypes laced to BLB King Hubs.
ITM 100mm Black Quill stem.
Bontrager SSR VC-R 44cm Compact drops wrapped in black Fizik Tape.
Inline black seatpost.
Flite 1990
Sugino 75 165mm Black
Time Atac
Hardshells.

Respect my photoshop skillz..

Excited to finalise this good ol' 531 awesomness...

I look forward to seeing that, sounds good. This project is also very good, some top photoshopping up there

Why replace 'lush' silver parts with rubbish black parts? Black parts are rubbish. Totally rubs.

Nutty paintjob btw.

Such an appropriate title! As spotter says looking forward to seeing this built up (and the new iteration of the gangsta)

I like this, especially the paint. Looking forward to seeing the new setup.

this bartape looks comfy

Partly stem is too long, dont like deep track drops, tubs etc.
and i like black.

also by selling it'll cover costs of taking parts from the Gangsta over and getting beater parts for that

what`s the wheelset? mavics laced to campag pista? how much were you thinking about if i'm not already missing the sale thread?

Campagnolo Record track hubs laced to Mavic GP4 tubular rims

thanks! i recently stubled upon the original ad, but dakin already pm'd me about them by that time.. sadly haven't had much time to lurk the forum these days..

EDIT: oh, and i already pm'd dakin about it, but judging by the perfect concept art for the black parts the headset is going too.. MINE. :D

Thinking about this for the stem.
NOS in at Hilarystone.

Who wants the Dura Ace 7200 stem?

Perhaps I do.

How many $?

"Save the track bike" in action

I have no idea.
The only ones I can work out costs for are NOS going for almost £300...
make me an offer?

How long is it?

Not sure how I managed to miss this. Looks good and the Gangsta sounds rad as fuck.

How long is it?

120 i think.
I dont actually have the bike yet but will check when i do.

Cheers man.
Yeah Gangsta should be fun too. I want big tyres though so I don't know..
May have to go down Vbrake/ Canti brake option...

Are you singlespeeding the Gangsta?

I have some carbon disc compatible forks, like the ones sptr had, but carbon, if any use...

Not sure really. Was thinking to. or maybe just a lower gear ratio fixed..
whats the length on them?

Not sure, will have to measure them innit.

cheers brah.
may be though mate.
cluster is 410 so anything around that would be good

410, is that all?

yeah 410 a2c

Yeah, why would you put black bits on an Orrell, that would look rubbish right?

(nerges Skully)

(not really)

But yeah, sick paint job dakin. You need some fruit salad bar tape...
