Sad to see - I think Brendog started out riding for them.

I have an Orange frame on the wall in my garage (single pivot) Think it is a 5 IIRC if anyone wants one to restore (I am based near ish Guildford) free to a good home.

I know I'm a bit late now, but did anyone claim this? I'll be down your way week after next.

Yes, the frame went a while ago and the PHer that picked it up gave me a bundle of quality golf balls to give to my administrators daughter who is a keen golfer so the favour was paid forward.

My son’s outgrown his Mega TR and test rode a new Mega at Llandegla as a potential replacement. He found it a bit numb so had a go of my Four too. He loved it and with no prompting from me (honest!) he asked me to find one for him. One turned up on Facebook for £650 which I thought was decent value and we picked it up this week. We are now a 2x4 household.

That looks great and its always nice to hear of youngsters getting into Orange!

It's often said by some on here, usually those who love the added complication of multi link bikes, that Orange are an 'old blokes' bike but I was in our local woods last week and there were 4 lads all early 20's, two had brand new high end Orange full sussers (Evo?) and the other had a Santa Cruz and one had a spesh.

They Orange lads were really into the brand so it's nice to know they do have a following with young riders.

Good to hear. They will always be a bit niche but hopefully there’ll be enough interest amongst the yoof to keep sales ticking along.

Similar here - my eldest grew into my Alpine which was the perfect excuse for me to buy myself a new Five Evo smile
