1993 Orange Prestige

Wow! This is the bike that keeps on giving. I just read the full thread, a great story. All the while I'm looking at the pics thinking she needs a repaint, but I actually don't think so now. But with all that bling kit/M900 it deserved to look top dollar.

I have a 93 Prestige myself, I love the ride feel of it. I notice our cables on the top tube are on opposite sides, mines a !9" that I repainted in the classic orange/white from full purple.

@minor_LEGEND Thanks, I've toyed with having it repainted and in most cases I think I would, however with this one most of the battle damage was my doing and I'd be very particular about getting the fade right, so in this case I'm sticking with the 'it's only original once' mantra.
As for the difference in cable stop position between our frames. It seems Orange were notorious for making slight tweaks between batches of frames.

The XTR was bought for this, so it's all gone back on.
