Calling All Orange C16R Owners

Re:

Thankyou guru im a novice really but am looking at getting involved in this bike.
It has manitou front suspension forks but not sure if these were added at a later date. The number is A507002380 if anyone can help.
Once again thankyou ill get some pics up shortly
 
Thanks for the kind comments, not a guru, but have learnt alot from people here on retrobike, the C16R isn't my specialty but...the number on the frame would indicate it's a 1995, although your number appears a digit too long?? In regards to the mantiou forks, it just depends what model they are, in regards to whether they are period correct. If you wish to go the rigid route then orange forks come up fairly often.. sounds like you got a nice bike.. :)
 
Looks a good one, what I can make out from the pics Russ it appears pretty original, the groupset, can spot the parallax hubs, stx headset, the original stem, looks like you could have some orange branded barends also.. overall looks a very sound bike. I would personally prefer some original rigid forks, but the manitou's on it are just fine also... :)
 
Re:

Thankyou bud and i agree about the forks also so ill keep my eyes peeled for some original forks. Now time to get it spruced up lol
