Legendary big hitting fork. 170mm of super plush travel thanks to lightweight Ti spring. 212mm tapered steerer (came off an xl Orange Alpine 160 so plenty of length for most frames). 20 thru axle. Seals all good, fresh oil a few months back. These are as close to a fit and forget suspension item as they come. No daft service intervals, just bolt them on and ride 'em. Usual cable rub and paint chips to lowers (shown). Stanchions all good, but do have a slight tarnishing towards the top. Doesn't affect performance and is apparently quite normal with nickel coated surface. A bit of elbow grease and a dab of metal polish would probably bring them up a treat. Paid £600 for them 2 years ago, looking for £120 cash (collection fron Gateshead or delivered within 20 miles) or £140 posted (via Paypal inc. fees). Thanks for looking.

The time has come to part ways with my beloved Alpine 160. I've had it from new since September 2013 and it's been awesome. We've done all sorts together together from uplifts and enduro races to 60 mile xc loops and everything in between and it's never let me down. Currently rehabing and injury and spending all of my time on my hardtail so I'd sooner it went to someone who'll ride it properly than see it sitting around not being ridden. Spec as follows: Size large 19 inch frame. Usual cable rub and stone chips, although the frame was invisiframed from new so in general the paintwork aint too shabby. Neon pink so perfect for very tall girls or men who don't have any hang ups about their masculinity. I'm 6'3" and it fits me a treat. Fox Float CTD shock. All works as it should, regular air can services but probably overdue a full service. Hope headset included. Bearings good for a little while yet. Novyparts axle. Light, strong, simple. None of those snap happy maxles here. Shimano 180mm brake mount included. Bearings replaced last summer. Feel like new and good for a while yet, but since I'll chuck a new Orange bearing kit in with the frame. Also included will be a spare mech hanger (worth £20) and a couple of spare P clips for tidy cable routing around the shock mount. Strange seatpost qr Full spec available in archive section of Orange website but for quick reference you'll need a 30.9 seatpost (routing for external droppers under toptube), 68/73mm treaded bb and cranks, 142mm x 12mm rear hub, and tapered steerer forks. Price £450 cash (collection from Gateshead or will deliver up to 30 miles) or £500 PayPal (including fees and postage). Thanks for looking.
