Re:
I think now, Brocklanders, you and I have almost exactly the same 'matching pairs', as I've my glacially slow rebuild of an '89 yellow/white Clockwork and my original (as in I bought it from the shop floor in '92) Prestige in orange/white.
The latter was from about Feb '92 (certainly before May/June as I rode it to school for my GCSE exams that year) and has the Ritchey Logic Tange Prestige SuperTubing.
Watching with interest!

Re:
Thanks for the oil recommendations gang, I'll get on it.
Yep fluffy, the year of maternity austerity is over so the plan is to fill the garage to see if I can find my retro mojo.
I wonder who will be the first to finish the yellow/white Matt? :facepalm:
It could well have different tubes if my triggers broom theory is correct as I'm sure they would have used any decals kicking about. Defo strange they didn't do a full strip down although at a push the purple/orange flatted down could act as a undercoat I guess. :?
Another theory could be they were not happy with a batch of purple/orange so sent them back to be refinished. This just might have been an old stock frame that got built up by someone in 1994? Or a frame bought and then built up from a donor bike altough the spec is so close to my old c16 I think it was probably built before sale. Who knows.
