Orange C16R...Finished and ridden photos -- page 7

[fingers]

I reckon the f7 fork - the RC35 looks a touch old for a c-16, otherwise, looking forward to seeing this

Cracking choice of bits Si

Use the Sweet stem though, so you can sell the Stalk to me for my Clockwork

Thanks guys,, going to build it I think with the 35's and see how it looks and rides,,

jimihendrix ,I'll give you a shout if I prefer the sweet..

I think the frame is a 96, but it's difficult to tell from the tease photos. Tell us the serial number and we could tie it down.

I think the RC35s are 1993 RC35Ks, but I don't think they look too old and I certainly don't think you would find them too long. They're probably the perfect length. Although F7s are superb if you're hankering after a rigid fork.

 

[Sithlord]

Thanks anthony , I'll dig it out the workshop again today and post up the serial no..

The pace forks I believe are the 35K's as you say, I was more concerned if they would be too short rather than too long.. :?

 

[Anthony]

The F7s are fairly short though (see example below) - certainly shorter than RC35s.

 

[Sithlord]

Thanks anthony for that

The frame no. is 507002401

Any idea what size seatpost these should take too..

 

[Mr Panda]

Seatpost - 26.4 rings a bell but think they were all shimmed :roll:

Forks on 19" frame

Check that post size - can't remember for sure :roll:

 

[Sithlord]

Thats nice Mr panda , I have tried a 26.4 in the shim and its too small, sort of thinking it might be a 26.6 ,as I have tried a 26.8 and thats too big..

Any idea what the original non shim fit would be ?

Really Sithlord, if you won't tell us whether your slot faces rear, let alone show us a proper picture of your frame including your slot, how can we be expected to accurately advise you?
