Some bikes I still own now, and somehave now gone to great homes.. yes the Dynamo is the same one Jimo as you have now

 

[Cheshire1980]

Yes Jimo..I previously owned the Dynamo you have now.. don’t own one now unfortunately. Just have my Aluminium 0 1992 in the Matt grey, and my Orange/white fade Prestige 1991. Still I bought another Aluminium O 91 frame off Ed (Brocklanders), in the orange/white fade, as a 2024 project.

Just the one, though one of the best riding frames I have owned.

I’ve only got one, original owner 2002 Sub5 Pro.

I've been riding a modern Orange since 2004 and at that point I still had my original Clockwork so never been without one since 1992! Back in my single days, when Retrobike was young I spent all my time searching out old bits of fruit so there's no chance I'll remember all the Retrobike era ones but my initial list is:

Main bikes-
1989 Clockwork.
2004 Evo 4.
2006 5.
2007 Clockwork x 3.
2010 5.
2014 5 29.
2016 Segment.
2016 RX9.
2016 P7.
2020 Stage 5.

Retro bikes-
1988,89,90,91,92,93,94 Clockwork's x lots and in pretty much every colour they ever did (except possibly solid orange?)
1989,90,91,92,93 Prestige.
1990,91,92,93 Aluminium O, although never actually built one in to a rider!
1991,92 Aluminium Elite x loads. Similar to the O, have not finished building many.
1993 Vitamin T. Lovely and mint, a real regret.
1994,95 C16. not had too many but a very early and mint 94 was a beaut.
1994,95,96 P7. Never really floated my boat.
198x,9x Formula road bike. Never confirmed the age.
1997,98,99 Clockwork, probably one of each at some point.
No doubt some I've missed too.....

I will have to dig out some more pictures but here are some for now.

 

[brocklanders023]

Few more. Love an Orange, me.

 

[retroJIM]

Here are a few I could find pictures of, I've also had a several other P7's and a Prestige (in satin black). Strangely I've never owned a Clockwork. A wrong I shall right at some point. Oh and I also have a 2004 Gringo.

 

[Kieran-b]

Only ever had one orange, but never ridden it because it's not finished yet. Aiming to be out riding it before the end of the month.

Will have to grab some pics, but current stable is:

1998 P7 (brit kit singlespeed)
199X Clockwork (absolute bitsa turbo bike)
2014 RX9 (stock, for now muah-ha-ha)
2019 P7 (stock)

As a teenager, the early Clockworks were my dream bikes. They were out of my budget but they seemed to be the best value lightweight XC bike on the market. I remember going to the Malverns in 90 & 91 and orange and white Clockworks (and Prestiges), with riders in the distinctive black and orange polkadot jerseys seemed to be everywhere.

Anyway, until 2020/ 21, although always having a soft spot for the brand, I hadn't owned an Orange of any kind... Until I spotted an advert for a 1992 Aluminium Elite frame that ClockworkDavo was selling.

I built that bike up and raced it at the Malverns in 2021 in the retro race and I've been hooked ever since... Currently the stable includes the following.

89/ 90 Clockwork in all orange
92 Clockwork
92 Aluminium O (spare frame at the moment)
92 Aluminium Elite 17"
92 Aluminium Elite 19"
98 E4 (recently purchased from Adrian Timmis).

I haven't owned a Prestige yet and I would love a 92 purple and orange Clockwork as that was my favourite colour scheme bitd (I've seen the one for sale but unfortunately it's a case of right bike, wrong time )
