I like Andy. What travel are the forks and how does it ride? I'm feeling the need for a 98/99 with modern forks at the moment.

I really like the way it handles with them on, they're the only forks I've used on this frame so I can't compare them to any other forks on that frame
Orange did tell me that the frame would handle up to 100mm forks, I think that 80mm is about right for it though as 100mm might give it a bit too slack a head angle.
I've compensated for the slightly longer fork than was originally on it by fitting a shorter stem to liven the handling up a touch
If I'm up in your neck of the woods, or you're over here feel free to have a test ride & see what you think.

Bingo, was hoping you'd say that mate as I'm thinking orange/white fade with Pace RC39's or white Fox Floats. Now all I need is a 19" frame.
Will look out for you on the next retro meet I attend.
