The new Orange clockwork

[Andy_Brn]

I have been looking at one of these bikes on Ebay and been offered the bike for £1000.

I've been put off however as this bike has been relisted a few times I think and there has been not even one bid on it.

The list price on the was around £1600 :shock:

Are they no good then?

£1k isn't a bad price - I personally think the frame was overpriced new when compared to Prince Alberts, 456, Charge, etc.

They didn't sell that well did they? After the initial rush of nostalgia I think sales cooled off a bit.

It looks a bit big in the pic.

My Rigormootis is a 17.4' C-T, but it's only got 80mm forks on it.

This thing looks really high at the front, i suspect it'll be too big for all 5ft7 me!!!

hey guys, they sold fine, there were only 200 made, was a bit overpriced though coz they had to get most of them painted twice and they had to build that in to the price. the orange came out pinkish 1st time round so before they released them they sent all of them to bob jackson and had them all redone!

i have one myself, rides lovely!

What size is yours Jonny?

Do they measure up to be big?

I've got a 31' inside leg and 5ft 7 ' small

I haven't got an Orange dealer on the Isle Of Man, so i can;t even have a lok at one in the flesh and try it for size.

i'm a little taller than you and i ride the 17, i would say 17 is perfect for you.
