Orange frame needs identification...

[TonyMerryfield]

Just trying to get some identification on this Orange frame:
https://www.gumtree.com/p/bicycle-acces ... 1155456156

It is disc only with a 1 1/4 headtube, which is bit of a strange combo in my mind. The routing for the rear brake is interesting too.

Anyway, any knowledge on this appreciated.

Re:

Hmmm... Disc mount added later? Cable guides look riveted on too?

Possibly, I am hoping the guides aren't riveted :\

Better pictures would have been nice...! With that in mind, any idea what model?

Re:

If it's steel and 1 1/4 then it's not an Orange mate.

No rust on the chipped areas would mark it as aluminium to me. Looks like a similar frame to my muddyfox prestige, which also has a 1 1/4 head tube, not if its made of ALU though.

Re:

Serious? Damn, I knew it was weird. Thought it might just be experimental... what might it be? Considering the backend and wot-not.

I don't mind if it's Alu - I just don't think it is. Looks to slim, and the orange in the chips looks rusty to me...

Scratch that, I can see rust on the 3rd PIC, looks like my prestige comp with disc mount added.

...looks like my prestige...

As in Orange Prestige ? Doesn't sound so bad...

Muddyfox prestige comp, from the same bloodlines as the orange and the same factory I believe.
