Orange have been doing similar steel frames since the '80's (certainly early '90s). I've got a C16 Clockwork from '95 and it's still going strong - light and lively, and capable downhill. They really know what they're doing and 853 is the best steel I've had. Can't imagine the combination of 853 and Orange will do anything but put a smile on your face (for years). It's an 'old fashioned' stretched XC frame though, so be sure that's what you're after (probably called short travel nowadays at 100mm)
