1999 Orange Gringo 17"

[SantaHul]

I need to sell my Orange Gringo at some point in the near future to fund a bike more suited to the French Alps. It's the 1999 model so has the slightly thicker tubes, unlike the later ones which suffered from cracking. Had a few upgrades and changes along the way;
Front wheel is original (Ritchey hub, WTB Speedmaster rim), the rear one has "Built by Dave Hinde" stamped on it (Deore LX hub, Mavic X517 rim)
Will probably come with some Deore LX parallelogram V-brakes, Avid levers
Shorter stem
XT rear mech, 24-speed drive train and triggers
Hutchinson Toro rear tyre, Bontrager front, both good tread
And my favourite upgrade - Rockshox Sid XC's, very light and hold air perfectly

I've mainly used the bike for barreling around Cannock Chase but it's seen Sherwood Pines too and earlier this year it went to the summit of Snowdon as well as a few all-dayers.

I'd like to tweak it up a bit before I sell it. I've lost one of the brake arms and if I can't find it I've got some other (better) brakes I was saving but I'll stick them on if I have to. I was thinking offers in the region of £175.
