Looking goodA quick pic of the bike looking fast even stood still!
Still trying to find my self one lol. In the meantime I’ve ended up with 17” projects comprising of 2x P7, a C16r, a KHS Montana Comp and a Specialized Stumpjumper M2 
Thanks guys…..
Although it never gets ridden in anger and is a pure garage queen it just rides great.
The geometry feels perfect on these models and I can honestly say that there is not a single fault with the components or how it rides.
These were a fantastic bike from Orange IMO.
I did waver and consider selling it a couple of months ago to put funds towards another hobby however quickly came to my senses.
Id love to give it a run at Hamsterley just for shits and giggles and to see the look on peoples faces but I’d never get over it if I marked the bloody thing!
(Got total OCD)…

Almost given up trying to find one in a 17” now as all that comes up are 19” 
so consider me front of the queue….Don’t worry, I will let you know if I ever decide to part… can’t see it though as it’s gotta be my favourite even though I am trying to have a cull. Took me ages to get it to this standard. Especially the hours abs hours of polishing… end result was worth the hours/days spent in garage though
