I am leaving the country in a few weeks and unfortunately cannot take my bike with me. It is an older model Orange Patriot Large Frame with a pretty decent build (see below for full spec). Over the last few years its done Trail Center XC rides, The MegaAvalanche, as well as more Gravity orientated riding. I have found its proven front and rear suspension designs to be predictable and confidence inspiring. FRAME: Orange Patriot Size Large in dark blue The frame has gained plenty of scuffs and scratches over the years. Importantly it has a dent on the drive side swing arm. The dent is near the top edge on the outside of the swing arm. I have tried to show this in the photos. The swing arm is not bent, which can be verified by placing the edge of a ruler against it. I have been riding with the dent for two years and don't thing it has affected the frame's strength. Because this is an Orange Patriot there is some tire rub on the seat tube. The rear shock is a Fox Van RC with ProPedal with 190/50 stroke. It was serviced about 2/3 years ago by Mojo. It is still running sweetly. The travel and geometry is adjustable between 5" and 6" by moving the shock position. The 5" position provides a slightly steeper head angle, stiffer effective spring rate and bottom bracket, which I use when (trying) to ride (small) jumps or for trail riding. FORKS: Fox 36 Van R The forks have been serviced once a year by TF tuned and were last serviced in September. I will include three springs (Green, Blue and Purple) for tuning to the riders weight. As you can see from the photos the paint work is quite scuffed. There is a scratch on the fork leg, which didn't come out in the picture but you can feel it with a fingernail. It may affect seal lifetimes (although TF have never mentioned it).

Please get in touch if you have in queries, It would be great if you could come and give the bike a test ride. I live in Cambridge and usually ride at Woburn Sands, Chicksands or sometimes Aston Hill and would be happy to meet you there for a test ride.
