Re: #2 Orange c16r built my way
Another short update, got the new wheels set for the bike, With many thanks to Pete on here for being patient with me
They are Mavic 217 sup CD ceramic with DT db spokes and XTR m950 front and rear hubs with rear casset to match. (still need a clean)
Have fitted them up with (nearly) NOS continental XC Kevlar 1.5 tyres, I think they suit the slim frame of the bike.
Again sorry for the pictures, im hopeing santa will drop me a nice cannon down the chimney!

Re: #2 Orange c16r retroModShox build
Quick update as I have not really kept up with it due to a hold up with getting the fork steerer threads cut a bit more, but I must say a MASSIVE thanks to Gio off here for lending me his thread cutting tool
So here she is, taken outside for the very first time into the lovely sunshine we have been having down south.
Only taken her up and down the road and everything is spot on, gears shift sweet, brakes are sweet, even seat is set right!
And it accelerates like a rocket in gear, specially with the 1.5 conti XC's she's wearing.
Here's a couple of pictures in the setting sun, if anyone wants a build sheet I will add one.
Niall.

** UPDATE TIME **
It's been a while since I have done any updates on this old girl.
Well after much debate I wheeled her into the work room and closed the door behind.....
It was a hard choice but I made the decision to strip all the M950 and single speed off her, to be used on the Manitou HT build.
The reason for this was A) I felt the M950 was better suited to a newer frame that was going to be used, and B) I had a basically NOS LX groupset sitting in a corner awaiting a frame.
So far there is a couple of things I want to look at and maybe change.
The bars are to wide, but being carbon im not sure I should cut them down?
The seat, im not sure it sits right on the inline wood's post.
So here she is, have a look, see what you think and make any comments you see fit
