My old Orange Prestige, I loved this bike. It started life as a Carrera Katalyst but I got the Orange frame when I snapped the Carrera. That was best upgrade I have ever bought. As it stand there the only part left from the Carrera is the stem. Can't remember the full spec but it's got some cromo forks after I bent the Orange forks that came with the frame. It's most LX/XT mix with mavic rims and an x-lite saddle.

Very nice. I've come across one of these in the past when restoring mountain bikes. As it's retro and fairly well specced, 7/10.

what year is it?

About 1995 according to the first rating, sounds about right to me. It was a long time ago.

Back then arms and legs were all the suspension you needed.

too retro, NO specs
oodboo replied... on 21 April 2010
Fair enough, can't remember the specs too well but here goes: Orange Tange Prestige frameset, big rubber grips from my grandads shed, XT shifters, LX front and rear mechs, M600 V brakes, semi slick tyres, LX hubs with mavic (possibly) 317 rims, original crud catcher and STX headset, XTR Cables for the gears and brakes, shimano M545 pedals. That's all I can remember.

Cool I remember that colourway. Was it around 1995?
oodboo replied... on 1 April 2010
Yeah it was about then but i can't remember exactly. I just know the frame was a bargain as it was the previous years model.
Thanks for the rate :)
