I've never heard of an Orange Clockwork bike. When I saw your nick, the first thing that popped into my head was "Siiiiingin' in the rain..."

Welcome!

welcome to the board one and all!

Squeaky: yup - mine either squeak or rattle or clang or Lord knows what!! and I gotta tell ya - the She-Ra Princess of Power Tiara goes to anyone in my book who rides a century cold after being off a bike for 2 years!

Ocul: I just got a Trek 1000 WSD.........sweet bike. Course it wasn't fast enough for me so she's back at my LBS right now having different gearing put on. and I was in Stitches reading about your hubby trying to sweet talk a cow - that had to have been something to see!

Clock: ok....My first thought when I saw you name was the movie and I must say it intrigued me to figure out why you picked Clockwork Orange for an ID.....now I'm intrigued by your bike!! Never heard of it....know nothing about it and would LOVE to see a pix of it!!

OK...........the following gives a bit of background about the make of my bike, also a pic of my bike which just happens to be the best (to me)! Singing in the Rain, not sure about the association BUT, I really love to ride in the rain, strange but true.



Orange Mountain Bikes history begins with the Tushingham B52, which was one of the UK's first mountain bikes. It was created as a specialty product by Cumbria in the Lake District and as an offshoot from Tushingham Sails, a leading manufacturer of quality windsurfing sails.

Later, Lester Noble, a partner in Tushingham Sails, fell in love with mountain biking and left Tushingham Sails. He partnerned with Steve Wade, a bike racer with an engineering background, and formed Orange Mountain Bikes.

Handbuilt in Halifax, England, these bikes are ALL English.

Well you did ask ...........hope you are still awake?

Hmmmmmm, 'never heard of it, know nothing about it'...............now that really is uncool.

Guess I am going to be given the nick of 'Clock' from now on.......

Compared with most of you guys on here, my bike is probably a heap of crap but I really do love my bike. Had it 6 years and almost done 6000 miles. Am not super fit, cannot run up and down stairs, let alone mountains.

However, I love being out on my bike, either alone or with my partner, I do ride all the year round.

I know I have said it before but this site is great, am real pleased I found it, so far, everybody seems real friendly.

If you're ever in the mood for a fairly disturbing, yet thought-provoking, movie, see if you can find a copy of "A Clockwork Orange". There's a scene that explains the song connection. Now, of course, the question is: Since you love to ride in the rain, do you sing when you do so?

Hi Kalidurga

Ahem, my memory is bad enough these days, however, I did see the film when it was released 35 years ago but must confess to not remembering too much of it.

Fortunately for the wild life around me when I am riding in the rain, I do not sing, just generally have a stupid smile on my face. I guess I enjoy riding in the rain, as there are far fewer people about.
