Orange O2 -,what year??

[Freddyman90]

Hi all,

Just purchased this Orange O2 recently and wondered what year it’s from. I know the forks that are in it are original, the groupset, wheels and bars are newer though. I’m asking as I plan to get the parts back to the original time period to match the frame. Also, I plan to upgrade the forks, what are the options I have that are from the same year as the bike? Would it be mag 21’s or Judy’s, rc35’s or rc36’s?

Cheers

Look at 1998
So Bomber or '98 Judy (full spring) possibly scrape an old SID.

Post the frame number and it'll be possible to work out the year and month of manufacture.

I don't have many records of Orange's 'MT' number series yet, but that is probably a 1997

Igen, én is erre jutottam, mert a '98-as katalógusban (megjelenés: 1998. január) találtam egy ilyen kerékpárt (vázat), tehát már '97-ben gyártották.
