Hi
I have just received what was sold as a 'possible Gringo', but what a lot of you thought was an O2. The details certainly matched an O2, the series 14 tubes etc. The serial number is K6K02830. Can't see any mention of an Orange serial number starting with a K, so I've emailed Orange asking for details on that.
Just wondering though what you all think as it seems to me that it has been resprayed? It's not what I would describe as 'matt', but I've never seen a matt black Orange bike. The Orange stickers are quite obviously 'ontop' of the paint and one saying Series 14 is not aligned centrally. Also, looks to me as if the bolts for the bottle cage etc have been sprayed over? I've tried to include images of those. Will I be able to undo them without damaging the frame finish if I try and mount a bottle cage and crud catcher?
In the post is a black Orange stem and SuperCross 2 handlebars, would they have the same finish?
Thank you for your opinions/advice.
Pete
