Lockdown build No2 1992 Orange Clockwork....

[clockwork davo]

Very nice indeed - great colour. Can I ask how tall you are and if the 19” fits? I’ve just built a 19” up and I suspect it might be too small for my 6’1” height.
Cheers.

I’m 5”9/5”10 on a good day with dinky short legs

I’m 6’2” and still try to convince myself 19” bikes fit.

I’ve had the same problem with 17 inch Oranges, putting on 15cm stems etc.. never quite felt right, so sadly sold on. However, regardless of height, it’s all about your body dimensions, such as length of legs, arm etc...

She’s not perfect, I still need some clip staps, not all items are period correct, but this build isn’t really about that, like back in the day we kept a our bikes going with whatever we could beg, borrow or steel ! it’s a laugh, fun to ride and I just love the look of it

Some faded orange toe straps on my 94 Clockwork (link in sig) you're welcome to for nowt. Although black may look better.

That would be ace as take the black ones off clockwork and swap over

Yes looks great. Orange toe straps would look great on it. Another beautiful clean build Dave!
