Help needed to identify Orange mtb

[Bosley]

My daughter was given this and we are looking for some help in identifying the model.
From the serial number A606 I’m assuming it dates from 1996 and it looks to be in original condition. Apart from the Orange decals I haven’t been able to find any other identifying markers.( Apologies for the crap photos the bike was buried under a load of boxes in her garage )

I know nowt about Orange sadly, but thought I'd just say Hi & welcome. Also, we were up near The Cloud the other day (assuming your username relates to that Bosley) for the first time in a couple of years, wow the place has changed!

I would say that's bang on the money...

Hi, thanks for the welcome, yes, l live in Congleton, the Cloud is one of my favourite places to go, great views from the top on a clear day.

Thanks for the info, I’ve just been looking at the archive 1997 catalog for the P7 only difference I can see are the front forks but I get the impression that when you were ordering a bike from new you could mix and match various parts

I don't think those forks are original.

I’m taking it out for a test ride at the weekend - I feel like a kid at Christmas with a new toy! My 10 year old grandson is going with me so I’ll probably struggle to keep up. Anyway thanks again for the replies.

When I get it out of the garage and into daylight I’ll post some better photos

your name rings other bells in my head I'm afraid, Bosley Mill is a learning point I use frequently in training sessions.
