I'll collect it at the weekend and report back with the frame number. At the moment I don't actually have any plans for it but it was local and cheap and I couldn't resist placing a bid. Regarding the wheels, if I don't have a use for them I'll drop you a pm

Sorry to barge in…but I’d like to be second in line if you sell the wheels please? Thanks

I'd say 94 too as that colour wasn't available for long. Let me know if you decide to move the frame on.

I don't think I've ever made an ebay purchase that was so in demand but yes @brocklanders023 I will let you know if I decide to move the frame on
I must admit, I am already wondering if it was a wise purchase as I think I sold all my canti brakes a while ago with the intention of using V's for ever more.

So I have collected the fruity contraband. Both frame and wheels are much better than I imagined. It's a real survivor that seems to have been lightly used, the decals could do with replacing but the paint / powder is in pretty good shape.
And the frame number? It's difficult to read but I think starts A403 or A408... will attempt to decipher it in better light. Something I wasn't sure of (as I'm not knowledgeable when it comes to Orange bikes) is that it's a 1" steerer. The seller said he was using manitou forks but sold them seperately.
It sounds like sourcing suitable forks might be tricky. Also, 19" might be a bit small for me, I need to size it up against some of my other bikes / frames.
