Nice mate I want one of these sometime like the first build with pace forks and black stem will you be changing back

No,sold pace forks and black stem as wanted to go back to full rigid as per my prefered xc race bike setup. May look at some point to get it repainted in an original colour but for now its staying like this

Is that how they came with back forks what was the original color

No,its not original colour. I just painted them black to tidy them up a bit. Normally frame/forks are satin black,silver or orange/white fade. I've another project bike to finish by next wednesday so this was a quick fix

Good to know when I looking for one are all the forks on the os round at the top on my other oranges there the square ones or did they just change from round to square on everything after a certain date weren't os only made from 91 to 93 or something like that if that was a quick build like to see a slow one what are you building for wed

They have different forks, I think you are talking about the F7 style, they came a little later.
The Alu-O came with Orange aluminium or steel forks or Pace rc30 rigged forks. Or any other fork to be honest, Mag20, Pace RC35 suspension....
Good times for the industry you basically specify from a long list of what you want, with a few examples provided.

Ye the f7 mate I didn't know that thought they just came with the steel forks then the f7 good to know I do like them rigid rc30 hopefully some will come along

Small update:-
Changed the spec slightly for the malverns retro xc race....now going full old school xc with the addition of orange steel rigid fork,135mm ali stalk and bar ends!! Can't wait to rip around eastnor park!!!

Looking forward to seeing this at the Malverns.
Planning on bringing/riding my 'O' too. Think @Tomac23 may be riding an 'O' too?
Took mine on a 30 mile O/R ride out last weekend - just to check all was tight for the event. Loved it.

Only just noticed seeing 2 frames as I never seen in flesh that the back bars are square and the brake callipers bars aren't welded in the middle of the frame and the cable guides on the top bar are staggered and going down the back there welded on the side nothing at All like my p7 or clockwork or c16 quick question my c16 is frame is a 1995 light grey now I always wanted a dark green one did they do a c16 in dark green that year. Or I want a dark green clockwork but struggling to find one
