I didn't know they still made race bikes. I have a much-
modified Orbit America from the days when racing bikes
looked like racing bikes ;-) -

Orbit concentrate on the same sector of the market as SJSC
these days. I suppose the racers all want ultralight
American exotica or custom steel due to rising incomes, and
there's not much market for off the shelf steel racers. Or
something like that. -
pity really cos people are missing out, its a great bike, a real cheeky
ride!!!
fairly light and with the upgrades ive done a reasonable machine for the
money

Hey Mark
I have an Orbit Aurora with Tiagra stuff.
It's not the lightest of bikes, but I really like the ride.
I've also got an Orbit Caraway which I think also gives a very good ride.
I'm based in Stoke on Trent, which is quite a hilly area, so I appreciate the fact that my Aurora has a triple on it.
Best wishes,
Steve 🙂
