[#5361602]

Bought this on a whim today for (i hope) a steal. Orange Strange Easton tube, full 3x9 xt, disc tabs, Manitou Mars with brace in front of stanchions, Race face forged crank, Hope disc hubs with green insignia, Bonty rims. Orange finishing kit. Apparently sold by Cyclelogical in Oxon. Any ideas from STW as to the origin?
Branded with E-Six decals ??? Any idea ? (and apologies if the link doesn't work)

looks like an Orange Evo2 to me, i thought Evo6's had different decals than that one

edit - could be mistaken though

As the retrobike thread says how about an E-six. Also that's what it says on the bike

I have a Gringo with would be similar age but lower spec. Still in use

Thanks for the input above. Yes, an Evo 6, yes from Deddington. Dunno how it came to be in the hands of the seller, a Kiwi in Hong Kong (he was left it when the previous owner left HK). The paint is a bit oxidized, tried car polish, would t-cut be OTT? Final question, keep or sell? I've too many bikes and it'll only be ridden occasionally. Again, thnx.

Looks a lot like my old O2, (ie, pre Evo2). Any gussets on the top/head and down/head tubes? Circa '96-97

Hi Seadog. No gussets. Bit more research done, thanks to above posts. Definitely an E-Six, from, to the best of my (limited) research 2001-ish. Thnx for your input though.
