Orange c16r head tube diameter.

[warpedboy2]

Hello all,

Im thinking of finding an Orange c16r and building it up to make a bike packing machine.

Did Orange ever produce the c16r with an 1" 1/8 diameter head tube or were they an inch?

Cheers

Marcus

Pretty sure they were all 1" mate before going 1 1/8th when they switched back to the Clockwork name?

I thought that might be the case. Thanks for replying

I did have a 1999 re-issue years ago, but hated it compared to my mates c16r. The re-issue frame felt dead by comparison.

Ignore the above, did a little more digging and the c16 tag ended in 97.
