Just aquired this for my wife. The owner thought it was either a 1995 or a 1996 A2E. Any ideas? It has been powdercoated & could use a lot of TLC. Cant seem to find any serial numbers anywhere. :

Somethin’ bout an Orange bike…they call to me….

Ebay find…15 minutes from my house. $125.

XT Cranks, derailleur’s V-Brakes and levers, LX Hubs, Sram X-Ray shifters, New Salsa Skewers, New Specialized bar & stem, Rock Shox Psylo, all new cables & just tuned. Also came with XTR clipless pedals & a Cateye Strada Wirless computer. Seems to me $125 was a steal.

HEY NICE TO HEAR FROM YOU!!!!! Board has been a wee bit quiet lately, BUT glad to see that bike being loved..WOW it looks like she loves it a lot. Looks like some fun area to ride as well so be safe and enjoy the rides and please share those pictures…

P.S. I check the pic’s out again…Would this be around your house? How much area to ride? I swear you guys that can just pull the bikes out and ride from your own home are so lucky…no load up,gas fill and drive time on interstate..must be nice!

MILES Upon MILES…its the green belt, runs from one side of town to the other. And yeah, we take the bikes out of the garage and ride. Although, we moved out here 4 years ago from Grand Junction Colorado and our favorite trails were 45 minutes away, but they were SO MUCH BETTER. I think Grand Junction is the mountain biking meca of the world. 2 hours to Moab Utah, but even better, I miss it so much. 😥 but there is no work, so here we are.

No kidding Mix! I run simi slicks so I would never ride in anything wet like that to begin with…
By the way, nice pictures there and also glad your wife enjoys the ride even in the muck. I must admit when it comes to toys and water I better be in my dive gear because the bikes do not go out if there is a hint of rain nor muck from it. I like nice dry limestone/dirt so I can run fast with no nasty mess…or my rear end bouncing on the ground from sliding out with the SS tires.
