    Some Help Required in Finding Some MTB Parts?

    Hi Guys,

    I've transformed my Orange C16R MTB in to a (sort of) Touring Bike, Road Tyres, Mudguards, V-Brakes and Levers, clip in pedals etc... But there are still one or two items I could do with to finish off the project.

    1in Quill Stem = 100mm (10cm) a lightweight alloy one; if it's possible to find one? Also looking for a QR seat post collar; and I'm not 100% sure of the size I need? I think it's a 31.8? Anyone know what size the Orange C16R seat post tube is? it's a 1994 model. Would like to find a seatpost collar in racing green colour, I know - it's a longshot.

    Any guidance or help appreciated.

    Was hoping to find an aluminium quill stem? I'll try finding a Tel No: for Orange Bikes.

    Or you can get a quill stem converter.

    Italians only make stuff for other people to fix.

    Do you also need a new A-head stem and Bars to fit ? could be an option though.

    Thanks
