    Wanted: Orange F7 forks 1"

    Hello, A loose headset on my C16R has revealed itself to be due to a thoroughly mangled steerer on the original F7 forks. So, does anyone have a spare set of F7 forks available? - 1" diameter - ideally threaded (but threadless ok) - min length 150mm - colour ideally dark green, black or...

    Headset advice

    Two questions: 1) with a threaded headset, is it wrong to use a spacer between the top locknut and bearing cup nut? (I can just about cope aesthetically - wanted to check it's ok mechanically. Can't be bothered to cut 5mm off the steerer tube so fancied using a spacer) 2) what's the best...

    Suspension Forks - 1" threaded

    I'm looking into getting some suspension forks for my Orange C16R. The key requirement is for them to be 1" threaded (steerer c. 160mm long). I'm open-minded as to: * brand (maybe Pace though?) * travel (50-80mm would be ideal) * age (frame is 95/96 so nothing too recent) * colour (it...

    Hello! (and yet another C16R)

    Hello - my first proper post on here. Here's my C16R (bought November 2005) half way up a Himalayan pass (for those who know the Manali-Leh road, it's at the bottom of Baralach La). It's got a real old mish-mash of parts including some old shifters (ST-M020). Any idea what year / level of...
