Hi Guys,
This is my first post and I'm sorry it's in the for sale section - I only discovered this great forum trying to find a bit more info about the bike in question!
I've owned this since about 2001 and have used it very little in that time, as can be seen from the pics. This must be as original as one can be found, aside from one or two consumables it's how it left the Orange factory. The saddle, seat post, steerer, handlebars, grips(!) have never been changed from the Orange components. EVEN THE TYRES ARE ORIGINAL!
The 19" frame was great when I was 14 years old, but as much as I'd love to keep it for nostalgia, at 6'4" it's just too small for me :cry:
Condition is fantastic, the frame has only the smallest imperfections - mainly the 'Clockwork' graphics rubbing off as I don't think they were lacquered over in those days. The Manitou forks again have a little peeling of the graphics.
I won't list all the specs as you can probably work it out from the pics.
The Avid brakes and 21 speed Shimano gearset still work great, nice and smooth through all the gears. The wheels run true and have minimal brake wear on the rims.
It's light, handles great and looks awesome (the pics really don't do the green justice, it's far more vivid in the flesh). It's just a shame its too small for me. Nothing is worn out or in need of replacement - great retro bike ready to ride
Collection only please from Rossendale, Lancashire.
Any questions please email me.

Thanks,
