Clockwork Frame ID

[emjay]

I have a 93 Orange clockwork serial no A309. It has a series 7 decal on the frame but it looks like it has been taken off at some point and stuck back on.
Is this the correct decal for this age clockwork, or was it supposed to be a tange infinity decal.
Cheers.

1993 should still be Infinity tubes, pretty sure only the later 1994 frames switched to Series 7 before becoming the c16. 1989 frame number can look like 1993 ones so stick a picture up and we'll go from there.

Pics of clockwork as follows.

Yeah it one of them 1994 clockwork hobbies.

Top routing triple cable stop block on the side, cool graphics, excellent matt black. And of course the serial say 1994 model.
No idea what the tubes actually are but whatever a cheap generic double butted tube is called.

So does that mean its a series 7 then ?

Defo a later Clockwork. Didn't think they used Series 7 tubes in late 93 and have seen Infinity tubed Clockworks from the same time but I can't see why someone would go to the effort of replacing the tube decal so assume it must be Series 7 and if so, one of the first to use it.

No idea what the tubing would be Tange Infinity, Series7 or just a later sticker kit refresh on the frame.
I don't know how to tell or what the series7 tubing actually is.
Infinity is not really anything special* so I wouldn't fret over it.

*its not shite either mind and still used today.
