Realistic selling price for these 2 Orange 🍊 bikes

[brocklanders023]

I'd keep the C16 if it's your original bike. I speak from experience when I say you'll regret it! Looking for a replacement for my original was what originally brought me to this site!

Having thought about it I reckon your best chance for decent money is to stick them on eBay with a start price you're happy to sell at then just see how it goes. Only takes two people who want a mint example of either to shoot the price up as there aren't many available as good as these two. If you do list them let me know and I'll tell the Retro Orange Facebook crowd. I'd like the MsIsle myself!

I have to agree with the above.

Thats a pretty unusual colour for a C16 and it looks absolutely bloomin fab in that last pic you've put up. Strip it to F&F and hang it somewhere as a memory. Flog some of the finishing kit and you could still have a ton in your pocket at the end of it. You'll never find another as good - and would you rather have the money or something that holds a load of memories. I searched high and low to find a version of my first MTB. Took forever. In a world of shiny supermtbs it's relatively quite shit, but I'll never sell it.

If I didn't already have too many Oranges (erm maybe 8, or 9...) I'd too love the MsIsle - not sure what I'd do with it as the "dually" type riding that it would inspire is definitely a thing of the past for me! That said, it would be an absolute bikepark weapon in the right hands

And just to satisfy my ocd turn that Thomson post around to the correct direction

Yeah i remember choosing the colour, it was silver, slime green or this blue. I always used to see them in silver so thought I’d go for the blue. Haven’t seen many about in this colour.

Stick the seat post up and The MsIsle is a great little trail bike, the geometry is quite up to date when compared to the modern bikes like my new Giant Trance.

I think I’d regret selling both of them to be honest but have a hankering to buy a new gravel bike and I haven’t got the room for another bike (quote from the wife ).

Ah that’ll be why it was a pain in the backside to set up, didn’t realise it went round a certain way. Just switched it round, thanks
