Orange Clockwork Prototype
- Thread starter adyifauk
- Start date
The first ride will be pretty brief, seeing the bike next to a modern mountain bike has made want a new one - so as a nod to the past I've ordered a Orange Clockwork Evo 29 for when the weather is crap. The wife was delighted...Whatever, ....Looking forward to the first ride pics.
In other news I have a frame ready for powder coating but until now have been unable to settle on a colour. Now that I've seen yours it's going to be yellow all the way.

Is yellow an unusual colour for Clockworks?

I sold it to a local chap (in Elland), it took him a few hours to get it running and he's going to be running around in it as his daily driver.
I also have a 1988 Honda VFR that's been sat in the garage, I'll probably sell that to make space for my new mountain bike.

Interesting thread and a nice bike. Something doesn’t add up though.
My thoughts would be on it possibly being an orange employee, or associated person who had their frame resprayed at the factory. That colour features on later models though I can’t remember which one - from memory one of the aluminium ones.
Would fit with the newer kit, which I don’t think is limited to the rear mech. Would also fit with someone having a story that it is a “special” bike. If it was properly “special” then I’d have expected the frame to be stamped as such.
Pretty sure orange moved from a rear facing seatpost slot to front facing around 1997.
Either way it’s in lovely nick.
