Orange not my area of expertise,unless you count my "It's too Orangey for crows,it's just for me n my dawg!" recital.
I'm looking to source an Aluminium O for a good mate/work colleague.Very well travelled,groundbreaking pioneer in the whelking industry (true!),general legend.He had one back then but was stolen.Currently on a Whyte E-something (not electric) but is missing the ride/geometry of the 90's.Would love to find/build a good one for him.Will be a rider.
I need help to identify the right bike before I try to source one.He said it was a '94 but of course as we all know memory can easily slip a year or two.Checked archives but couldn't find what I needed there.
His had Pace forks and was a grey colour,not polished.He sent a couple of pictures,reckons it was like these;
Have to say this model,with this finish,kind of passed me by.Saw very few Oranges round here.I do really like it.Love those stays and the cable guides are a nice touch.
Also size wise,not familiar with how these are sized.He mentioned 18".I would say he's 5'10 plus.Is that going to be a 19 or 17.5?
Assistance would be greatly appreciated,thanks in advance!
