Orange c16r full xt 1996

[pepitaracer]

I think this is one of maybe only 2 Orange c16r that were sold in sweden. It was crazy expensive (1200£) but my insurancecompany paid most of it after my previous mtb was stolen (a boring scott). It´s 19" and has a full XT groupset, FIR wheels with XT hubs and the usual Orange sk8 stem, hot rod bar etc. I rode it for 1 summer and after that it has been sadly neglected. I found it stashed away under the roof in the garage! And then I found this forum The tires are new but I can´t say I like them....will probably try to find something more fitting.
More and better pics will come!

Lovely bike. I was 16 in 96' and I remember my friend getting a purple P7 (but with low end group set so he could afford it). Riding it was a dream (even though it was too big for me). Orange bikes of this era were great in my opinion!

Yes, it´s a lovely ride! I remember the first time I rode it. It was so much quicker and lighter then anything else I had tried! I still think it´s awesome
