Orange Bikes

The reputation for cracking can’t have helped them. About 4-5yrs ago it seemed like every other post on the Orange Facebook groups was another person saying they’d cracked their Alpine or whatever. To be fair to Orange they seemed to sort people out and see them right but it’s a hassle being without your bike.

Website is still down. Really sad if this is the end for Orange- for the people working there and the brand.

I only have a couple of old Aluminium Elites but liked that they were still around and doing UK MTB stuff. A lot of valid criticisms and reality checks listed on this thread though.

I hope something can be worked out to keep the business going. But it’s not a rosy UK background in bikes at the moment.

Fire sale started by the looks of it to raise some short term cash.

That's a lot of models for a small company and things like e-bikes are not included.

Some of the 2021 bikes are ebikes. What condition will the battery be in after years without charging?

Great news & sounds much more positive.

The web site is back up and showing some decent offers with prices being more where the ought to be in order to be tempting.

...I quite fancied an EVO frame to stash away until I noticed they all seem to be 27.5

Let’s turn it into a show me your Orange bike here’s mine 2018 Orange 5 and 2023 Orange P7

My Four, and a Crush that I no longer own.

You will remember to shut that gate won't you .

Sorry... Very old Orange joke there.

I love them. Good single pivot bikes have unique and poppy ride feel.

Nice looking bike yours.

My 2007 5, which was my main bike until 2 years ago, now just used as a spare bike. Picture taken around Coniston Water, a mate was using my 5 whilst I was on my new Bird.
