That was fun with a head wind…..

I really should have know better asking a bunch of ludites 😄

Hi, What are folk using these days? Dedicated GPS or Phone? (which apps?) Cheers Marcus

Still looks ace, and is getting ridden again 😎

Ignore the above, did a little more digging and the c16 tag ended in 97.

This muddies the water a little..... https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/orange-clockwork-c16r-p7-steerer-diameters.442154/

I thought that might be the case. Thanks for replying I did have a 1999 re-issue years ago, but hated it compared to my mates c16r. The re-issue frame felt dead by comparison.

Hello all, Im thinking of finding an Orange c16r and building it up to make a bike packing machine. Did Orange ever produce the c16r with an 1" 1/8 diameter head tube or were they an inch? Cheers Marcus

Also...seriously considering getting into this....might not be this year, but definitely next year. I already have a Trangia.....just need the rest of the kit! :)

Had lovely 45 mins puffing and panting around the family trail from Pedal-a-bike-away in the FoD this evening. Saw some deer, chased some squirrels, the P7 was awesome as always, and I had pasta for tea when I got home. Perfect :)

As per title, in silver or pewter/grey. Compact drive. Thanks Marcus

I have always fancied doing something like this. The first ever copy of MBUK I read had an article written by a guy who lost his job as a teacher and (I think) he got divorced too, so he hopped on his bike and rode from Spalding to Tibet. I thought to myself, I'll do that one day too.

*switches the lights on....* I've been got up super early the last two days and had a spin around the Verderers trail in the FOD before work. Was on the P7 yesterday, then the DeKerf this morning. Totally empty trails bar the odd squirrel. The early morning light through the pines, and the...

Hi, Looking for a Middleburn RS3 LH crank 175. Might consider full chainset. Cheers, Marcus.

Early morning in the FoD
