What we've got here is a classic steel mountain bike from the year AD 1996. It was my first proper MTB as has lain dormant in the garage for ages as I couldn't bear to part with it. 
Would suit rider in the 6 foot region.
Spec highlights:
> The frame was completely stripped and re-sprayed by Orange when I worked at the local bike shop in about 2000 and hasn't been ridden since (it used to be dark green). Original Orange decals were also applied in Halifax.
> Manitou SX forks - 75mm of buttery smooth travel. Actually the damping cartridge has blown so they're not great. The bike also comes with the last pair of Orange F7 rigid forks which I snaffled up a couple of years ago from the Orange factory. They need a thread tapping onto them and they are finished in black - brand new though.
> Shimano STX RC full groupset with 7 spead rear casette for the ultimate in non-clogging shifting performance
> Beautiful retro XT rear mech
> LX upgrade v-brakes with Avid Speed dial levels (anodised in red naturally)
> I'll throw in the original STX RC canti's too
> Original FIR rims - pretty damn straight too as I bought a new wheel set and these were consigned to the garage
> Classic Flite Ti saddle
> DMR V12 pedals - orange obviously
> Usused slick tyres
> Azonic riser bar with 1" quill Uno stem
> Pleasingly nerdy Crud Guard
