This is my Orange Stage 6 frame, 2021 model. It’s size medium. Also included are the Fox DPX2, the Cane Creek headset, and a brand new Invisiframe frame protection kit. This is a 150mm travel frame, built for a 160mm front fork. It is boost rear and takes a 73mm BB and 30.9mm dropper. Orange replaced the arm with the improved version to prevent it recurring, and also refinished the rest of the frame for me to match the new arm, in Norlando Grey, with new bearings and stickers. So half of the bike is literally new and the other half has been refurbished to brand new condition at the factory. At the same time, the shock was serviced by TF Tuned. It will probably have some very minor storage marks if you get it under the microscope but visually you’d take it for a new frame. It’s literally never been rebuilt or ridden since- to be honest I bought the wrong size, I should have been on a large, and while it was off at Orange (which took a while) I picked up a longer Bird AM9 as an experiment, and basically fell in love with that. I kept the Orange in storage in case I changed my mind, but now with a house move coming it’s time to move it on to a new home. If you don’t want this, drop me a message and I can make a discounted offer without it. Obviously it’s now a slighter model but if you ask me they got this very right in 2021- the new version is a little longer but the geometry is otherwise almost identical, the travel is the same, and it is absolutely horrible to look at. I mean what were they thinking, it looks like it’s been broken and welded back together in a backstreet garage. This one’s so much nicer. I mean, you can’t look at it when you’re riding it but you still know, don’t you. Parts etc are still available from Orange and it is all the modern standards, boost rear end, metric shock etc, it’s as modern and up to date a bike as the new one is. Collection/viewing is possible in EH26 (20 minutes from Glentress).
