Anthony":d1v2t947 said:Well it could be just the same as a Prestige in all other respects, but if it's made of a different tubeset that Orange only ever used that once, and it has an official Orange 'Limited Edition' top tube decal, then it's logical to think it's a prototype. Quite apart from its origins being slightly uncertain, he couldn't sell it as a Prestige with that decal, so selling it as a prototype seems a completely honest thing to me.FluffyChicken":d1v2t947 said:The question is, what's prototype about it, just looks like a Prestige with a broken stay.vidal130":d1v2t947 said:Cheers Anthony, I wll look in to it further and I will strip the other stuff off it. It is quite an interesting frame, if you flick some of the tubing with your nail you can hear how thin the steel is! As for 1992/3 I think you must be quite close.
I know, that's why I'm interested to know about it and if I was a prospective 'Orange' collector and he wanted to sell a broken frame, it's the sort of details that would help sell it to a collector. Couldn't see anyone else but a collector buying it to be honest.
Serial Frame Codes may give something away to those in the know (not me, wouldn't have a clue on the codes )
