Late 80's. Nice lenght of stem! I'd possibly have it lower in the headtube too. Early 90's they moved to V-brakes.

might need an expert on this one from RetroBike
"am i allowed to say those words on here"
I'm sure its not 80's as there is the rear wishbone and the fork tops

My mate had one in the early 90's although i,m not exactly sure when ?

At least 94 onwards - the wishbone forks and graphics were somewhere between 94 and 97. It couldn't be 80s as they didn't make them then.

Mid nineties. As someone who as owned/owns Clockworks that pre-date that one I feel qualified to comment. Really early ones are fluro orange or fluro orange and white.

Hmmmm lovely. My 1991 example.

Clockworks were made from either 1988 or 1989 can't remember which.

Early 90's they moved to V-brakes.

I say that V Brakes didn't even appear until around '97.....I had a 96 Indian Fire Trail from new that had Cantis, and that was a high end bike at the time, if V's had been out it would have had them

edit...v brakes appeared '96 on Xt and XTR

My 91/92 clockwork had wishbone rear stays and those graphics and was grey.

1993- 96 or 7 I reckon from the STX and that paintjob
That narrows it down a bit ๐Ÿ˜†

My '91 ClockworkO frame is purple ends with orange in the middle (technically a OPrestige colour I think), it still had the serif font - the sans serif font wasn't until 93-94 IIRC.
