[Closed] Can you tell me what year this Orange Patriot is?

I could, but she looks like a smoker, puts me right off.

Groan.. 😕

--humour has been removed from this thread--

Couldn't possibly. I don't have a thing to wear...

Looks like the one I had '04

Spoilsport finding the edit button alert!!! 🙂

Thanks djglover, I have had a google now I know the approximate age, 6 inch travel....

If you're going out on a date, you should NEVER query the date's age...

Kinda like looking a gift horse in the mouth?

If you was looking to buy this frame & shock any idea what a good price would be?

That's a cracking way to end up on a register!

thats earlier than 04. looks like my 2000ish one by the front shock mount but its difficult to tell with the gubbins behind.

5" travel with teh non piggyback rx. 6" with that rc. you need to run lots of compression damping.

loverly bike.

looks like a 2001 Patriot LT to me, 160mm forks, seen lots go on ebay around £150-200 perhaps more if its in VGC.

2004 has a weird bar coming up from the shock mount to the top tube iirc. looks earlier from the stickers. you used to be able to access orange website and just change the year in the url to earlier years to view the catalogue. Perhas email Ornage, always found them very helpful.

yeah, its pre '04 mine did have that bar thingy

Patriot LT 2001(ish) is my opinion too, had one just like it around then - and loved it.

Around 2004 they changed to a shock mount that braced against the top tube too, due to issues with this design cracking at the ends of the shockmount plates.
