Skin walls would look nice with my green paint.
Here's my Orange C16R I've finished restoring!
Frame: 21" Orange C16R recently resprayed in metallic green
Forks: F7 (1" unthreaded)
Stem: Orange
Saddle: Orangegel
Handlebars: Orange Hotrod
Headset: Ritchey Fuzzy logic
Groupset: 9spd Shimano Deore XT M739 except...
Chainset: Shimano Deore XT M760 (because getting old chainrings got expensive and I rate Hollowtech ii highly)
Wheelset: Shimano Deore XT FM-M760 hubs on Mavic x517
Tyre: Panaracer Mach SS
Sadly having finished it, I realise this thing is a good size or two too small for me. So it's up for sale if anyone's interested.

96 or 97 I think as it doesn’t have the canti bridge and also the seat post clamp position is post 95?The 'Karma' c16r I just got off of @carlhcyc ...

I think it's a '95, can anyone confirm for sure?
Hi fellow Orange fans,
I’ve just pulled the trigger on what is (I hope!) a mid/late 90s Orange C16-R. I haven’t been able to find any images online of the same model with this exact paintwork. The spec looks very similar to that shown in the ‘97 catalogue, but it doesn’t specify in the catalogue what the alternative colourways were, and I can’t tell if the canti bridge had been done away with by that point.
It looks like there was a Slime Clockwork in ‘98 and I can see there’s another build thread with a similar-looking C16-R from ‘97 but no canti bridge and black decals (Thread '1997 Orange C16R, Slime Green' https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/1997-orange-c16r-slime-green.413392/).
Anyone able to lend me a hand figuring out what I’ve just acquired?
Cheers!
