Having been drawn to the comfort of full suss, and stupidly ridding myself of my Mr XC in favour of somethng more modern...I know find myself lusting after one again or similar.


So does anyone have one...full bike, project...must be in v.good to good nik please.

I do have cash ( well a bit ) now..or happy to trade, PX etc.

Colour unimportant...size medium, wanted NOW !!

Sellers been in touch, but its a little bit too downhill for me.

The UFO and the Mr White are more trail orientated.

Cheers for the heads up though..

As I said in the other post the Mr White is the same frame, geometry is identical, the only difference with the later Mr O is the cross member to stffen the seat post boom up. Which in my book is a good thing xc, trail or dh oriented.

I recon the only reason Orange dropped the name was down to a word in the ear from the legal beagles from Resevoir Dogs, and this may also be the reason the Mr O isnt the Mr Orange. Then again I could be full of ****

Take a scan through the Archive at the 1999 brochure for the MR White info

and the 2000 for the MR O

I BS you not, exactly the same, you would just need to dial the rear down to 5" stick a set of shorter travel single crown forks on and bingo! trail ready.

But if its not your cup of tea thats fine I can do no more than lay down the facts.

Hi,
I've just about finished putting together a MrXC - and I'm pretty pleased with it - but then you know how nice they are!
I'd considered the MrO option etc, but I'm more XC than DH - so was looking for a Sub5 or Sub3 - then the MrXC came up. So glad I went for it!
Hope you find something
