what size seatpost is needed for 1995 C16 - R

ANYONE HAVE ONE TO SELL IN BLACK?

According to the Orange Website a 1995 should be a 30mm seat tube.

That sounds too big for a steel seat tube. Unlike most steel frames Orange always used to be 26.8 rather than more normal 27.2

Orange seat tubes are massive, I think I'm running a 29.6 on my P7 and my clockwork has something similar.

Yup. later clockworks & P7s are 29.6mm but the website shows 95-97 C16s as 30mm. An odd size I'd agree, but Orange used shims as standard on a lot of frames so that's an option.

I've got a 29.6mm seatpost here you can have for a few bear tokens if you want to try it for size.
