See here..http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=76569

Originally ordered in black....i waited and waited...called the bike shop...." oh there's a wait on black ".." your'e telling me..its already been 6wks..grr "..." Well they have an Orange one in a 15in if you want..."..apparently custom sprayed at the factory for a show....

Built up using a selection of parts from the bin and off the internet...came out pretty well specced...

Nice, didn't realise they had sliding drop outs! cool colour too. Wouldn't mind one of those in a bigger size.

The stem looks very long though, does it fit OK? I have a 60mm Pro stem FS soon.
 
Conventionally ..yes,i suppose it is a little long at 135mm...

But thats how she likes it....makes for some slightly unique handling now and again..but it doesn't see much action....

I am going to try and tempt her with something more retro in the future..once i have cut my teeth on several of my own..

So I suspect i shall be looking for another matt black C16r before too long..
