Help needed with a Orange Mr.O

[Cpt.Dan]

Hello,

I am trying to restore a 2000 Orange Mr.O and need help finding the right components for it.
i would also appreciate any kind of information from members who had such a bike.

Cheers!

Re:

Have you seen this in the archive mate?

Yes. It`s my main resource, but it`s not very detailed.
I also found this:
http://www.bikepedia.com/QuickBike/Bike ... l=Mr.+O+DH
http://www.bikepedia.com/QuickBike/Bike ... =Mr.+O+Pro
But there are some contradictions.
For example, the seat post. On bikepedia.com it says it came with Orange Stick Up 31.6mm diameter, but on Orangebikes it says that it was 27.2 shimmed to 31.6

Re:

I'd go with the Orange answer as my 2007 complete build Clockwork came shimmed to 27.2mm. I had a frame only before that didn't include the shim.

I have found the other Orange data to be dodgy. I have a 1995 P7 with completely different seatpost and brake mount to what Orange say. They definitely used different seatpost / shim combos to get rid of stock on occasions.

Re:

Ok. So I guess that I will look for either a 31.6 or 27.2 + shim seatpost, but preferably the later one.

I also have problems finding information on the rims used. Bikepedia says that they come with Alex Widestyle, but I can not find anything on them.
Also the pedals
