Recently picked up a Reynolds 753 frame with a few Dura ace bits still attached (Brakes,headset and front derailleur) from my local bike shop ,the bike and previous owner are well known to the shop so not someone who has just wandered in of the street ,now the interesting thing is the back story to the frame as it was reputedly built and supplied by Orange bikes in part payment for some graphic design work back in the early days when Orange where first becoming established . No idea if this is true but interestingly their is another Orange 753 road bike on retrobike.co.uk supplied by another local bike shop on behalf of the widow of a deceased owner but whilst mine has no decals other than the 753 stickers the other bike was painted in the classic orange fade with Orange and Formula decals . Any other rumoured Orange road bikes other than the alloy framed Dynamo's out there ?
