Hi, thought I would share some pics of my Orange C16-R. I have put some pics up on here already but have made some changes lately to get the bike how I want it. Original rigid F7 forks back on, black handle bar and stem (Crankbrothers) added, black seat post. Still in the progress of changing...

As per title, lovely condition Red Deore DX V brake lever. Right hand side (front brake) I have no idea on price to be honest, £25 plus postage based on it being red 😂 and in great condition? Chris

Thanks, its in pretty good condition! Yes it does look good with black. I do have the original black Orange Stick Up seat post and black Tioga Bar and stem. I never really thought the Tioga stem suited the bike. I also have some Black Crankbrothers bar and stem combos so might have a play...

Here’s a few pics of my Orange MsIsle that I have owned from new. I originally bought a MsIsle from Bromley Bike company, after a year it got stolen from Centre Parcs. Luckily I had insurance so a new bike was covered by the insurance. I paid extra for the Hope Package (DH4’s, pro levers, hope...

Really helpful information here, sounds like it’s not worth trying to make this work as it’ll compromise the performance of the drive train. I have another smaller ratio 9 speed cassette which I’ll swap over from my Orange Msisle onto this C16-R with the XTR. The MsIsle has a longer cage mech...

Thank you all for the advice and guidance I think I have smaller range 9 speed cassette knocking around somewhere so I’ll swap it over. Thanks

Running a triple chainset up front. I tried the b tension and it helped marginally. chain length sounds like the next adjustment. Thanks.

Thanks i’ll have a read through this. Currently I have a Deore LX tripple chainset which I think has 42-32-22 rings

Hi, I have an XTR Mega 9 speed short cage rear mech. Does anyone know if there is a maximum sized rear gear that it can cope with? I have a cassette with a 36T largest gear and i am struggling to adjust it without the mech rubbing on the cassette. Thanks Chris

Definitely looks like “531A” to me - I converted to black and white as it made the stamp clearer. What do you think?

You could have a very valid point there, I’ll check later to see if that’s the case.

Thanks for the reply, yes they are Prugnat lugs which I know he used when building frames. The bike itself was purchased in around 1975 from Brian Wilkins in Gidea Park (Essex). Brian bought the business from Frank in early 1973. My dad remembers buying the bike and knows it’s a genuine Frank...
