Hello all, I have a 2005/6 orange 5 frame and manitou rear shock in 17" medium, great condition and great frame in black but its a little on the small side for me, just wondering if anyone out there has a 5 thats too big for them and would be interested in swapping, long shot I know, if not the...

Its really light, similar frame setup as a sintesi or early giant full sus, have got a manitou air shock to fit, now to find some nice forks

Here it is, ive stripped the paint off now, aqua blasted and polished it, looks like quite a well built frame, tidy welds etc

Does anybody remember or have any info on one of these, its a circuit fo full sus frame made I taiwan, I remember my lbs. Having one for sale in for ages and always remember being tempted by it as it was very cheap at the time, think it was around 380 pounds at the time, anyway many years later...

HA ha, thanks, it was actually you and your nice p7's with pace rc30's that made me (and my dad) remember just how nice the old oranges were, we now have 3 nickel p7's and two prestiges between us

again not a great pic, but the only one i have at the mo

im pretty sure its in-house, because it was one of the last bikes they sprayed before they had their spray shop overhauled

including the decals fitted and postage back to me it was £150, i thought it was a bit of a gamble being an old frame but i asked them to let me know if there was any damage or cracks once it was stripped but all was ok, and when i got the frame back i knew it was money well spent :D

that 1st pic looks like a stunning bike, and that little tange ultimate sticker was a pig to find but have now found a fresh one from america and it finishes the frame off nicely oh and the frame number confirmed it to be a 93, think it was dave at orange said it was aswell

yeh the frame is just the normal matt, its just the sticker colours that ive never seen, except on the purple silver fade. sorry bout the pic, thats the one off the ebay listing, i will take some good ones this weekend of it all sprayed up parts i have gathered so far are: tange/tioga...
