Afternoon all. Hopefully some of can help me piece some bits of information together as I begin to think about another bike I've always wanted, an Orange Clockwork. I remember some very specific things, and some other bits are a bit blurry, or just not there at all. I am trying to get down to a specific year of Clockwork, so that I can find and build the correct bike. I have posted this in the 98 onward section as I believe it to be correct.
Things I think remember:
- It was late 90s or very early 2000s
- Rigid Clockwork, with the one piece chainstays and I am 99% certain the forks had the rounded shoulders, not the bulky ones like some of the later ones had
- The pictures I saw were in an MBUK bike test
- The bike in the pictures was blue, possibly called "Moon Blue"
- It had a 4 arm chainset, I'm tempted to think LX, but maybe not.
- I really really think it was 1-1/8th steerer, or more specifically not a quill stem.
- I think it had canti brakes, but could have been V's.
Things I need help with:
- What year of Clockwork would this make it? From what I can tell it could only have been 98 or 99, but this only from the limited info I have found so far on Google searches etc.
- Does anyone happen to have the MBUK review of it? If you do (and you could scan it in for me etc) you are a star of the highest order!
- Does anyone have any pics of a Clockwork from around that time?
- Does anyone have any info for this era of Clockwork, anything much appreciated, but most importantly what frame I should be looking for.
Yeah, so, if anyone can make head or tail of these extremely vague bits and pieces to go on, please help if you can. I'm sure you all know what it's like when you have an itch from so long ago that needs to be scratched!
Thank you all.
