Doesn't look like an Orange to me but I'm no expert on the late 90's bikes :?

der hanger looks like it is the wrong one
looks like a orange gringo hanger but not a gringo frame

Rear triangle makes me want to say late 90's Schwinn...? For some reason I thought they had a patent on the design for a while. Not sure.. just know they used aluminum and this frame style during the era......

This is weird. That looks like an orange serial number but the frame doesn't quite seem to fit any of the oranges. The head tube gusset looks very orange evo like but they would have had a monostay. The top tube cable routing either side might suggest earlier than mid 90s but then there is clearly no canti cable routing (and clearly not an early 90s Ali-o or elite as the chain stays are all wrong). Puzzled. Possibly not an orange at all but then begs the question why that frame number is so orange like. Surely someone going to the trouble to fake an orange would realise that thus would never pass for a prestige in a million years?

i know nothing but even i said it wasnt a prestige to him, thought it may have been an ali o but as you say cable routing is wrong. im stumped!
