My Vit T2 frame doesn't look to have been ridden - I believe it was an ex-display bike in a shop. It's got light marks from build but no signs of riding. When it's built up it'll be purely a sunny day / day out with the kids / ride to the pub bike - my other Oranges are for hammering!! Another...

Shame the stem is 'cosmetically challenged'...as my Vit frame is new, I wanted to adorn it with as much eye candy as possible - any chance of a few pics for verification?! 1 1/8" is quite rare for '93 isn't it? Everything I had around then was 1" or 1 1/4"

Most of the stuff on it is getting on a bit....treated it to new wheels last year - you can't beat Hope Hoops for price/spec! I've just bought another set of the RC40 forks for it but with a 20mm axle. It's the only bike I have where the QR seat bolt gets used regularly. Love riding to the top...

Is that a silver pace stem on your Vit? Let me know if you tire of it! Are you running discs with your RC 31s? I've heard the heat from the disc/calliper un-bonding the mag dropout from the carbon leg! Have you removed the canti bosses from the rear?

My NOS Vit T2....just need to win the lottery now so I can cover it in M900 XTR, Pace and Hope goodies!

Some pics of my AirO beast!

What year is your Vit secret squirrel? I'm trying to identify the internal seat tube diameter - an old Orange brochure details a 25.4 seat post shimmed to 28.2 28.2 seems a strange size to me so thought it might be a typo and more likely 27.2 like lots of other Orange frames. However, with...

I'll post a pic over the weekend....don't have any pics of it on the computer!

I'm still riding my AirO, and as the name suggests it likes to spend more time in the air than on the ground! Too heavy for trials, too fat for hill climbs, too stiff for long rides - it's a jump bike and it does it well. Bought mine in '99/'00 and still going strong...I had Orange F9 rigid...

I've had quite few aluminium frames and I'd have to say the E4 is comparable to the Prestige I had for feel. I thought It would be like a pinball being completely rigid but it's surprisingly comfortable. Mind, the wheels are build using DT revs which are quite 'springy' and the RC31s have quite...

My E4 is definitely a '99 Serial number is T90112120 I've also been looking through old Orange brochures and the '98 E4 looks to have different shape seatstays, chainstays and downtube as well as the mentioned dropout shape? I know there was no E5 but why have two different versions of the E4...

How can you tell it's a 99 frame from the pic? Did 98s have a canti bridge or something similar? I'll be in garage today so will jot down the serial number....far too wet to ride today!

Thanks for al the info so far....the problem with buying a second-hand frame is that you know only of the history that the seller is telling you so I appreciate all the help in unravelling the 'mysteries'. I don't have a pic of the Vit frame yet as I'm not even supposed to have it until my 40th...

Cheers! ....what about the other serial number though? I know Orange didn't do any ti welding in-house, is this perhaps the serial number of the manufacturer?

I've been a member for a while now but have never gotten around to posting any messages as although I've been riding since 1993 my current rides (all Orange) are from 1998 onwards...almost retro, but not quite! I'm guilty of being a browser of the forums though! Today I took delivery of (I...
