ORANGE BIKES

Hi mates!!!

Some bike knowledge...

Orange Bikes from Halifax, West Yorkshire in the North of the UK, has been making mountain bikes since 1988. The bike company started as a side show to the owners main business of producing engineered metal based goods and eventually developed into a full blown business producing quality mountain bikes.

Orange over the years became synonymous with a few famous riders most notably Steve Peat who competed in the DH world cup on board an Orange bike and produced quite a few victories. With time Steve moved on and Orange only being a small brand, had grown a stable following in the UK as people liked the style of its bikes and its approach to how they are made.

We knew that Orange were quite unique in the sense that they are one of only a very few mountain bike companies that produces they whole bike in the UK still, most importantly all their frames. source

why should we write about Orange in this blog?

Well, one of the main dealers in Spain is located in Marina Baixa, specifically in Alfaz del Pi. The bike store is Guijarro and its manager is David Pérez, a nice guy.

I had a chance to test an Orange Five some time ago and although it's not my bicycle I have always thought that it could be my second shot. I love its simpleness and strength, with really attractive design and colours ... 

I share with you a factory tour video in Orange Factory, really interesting and curious, where you can see how an Orange is born.

The dealer has shared with me some pictures from the newest Orange Five 27'5, really amazing!!!

I hope I set you closer to a high quality bicycle brand, for many bikers, a reference brand in aluminum mountain bikes.
