[Closed] Where are all the Patriots? Show me the de riguer bike of the mid to late 90's

As in Orange Patriot?

First one was 99/2000 wasn't it?

So sue me! It'd still be nice to see a few of 'em in action.

I bought mine in 2000
it was brilliant then at the end of 2007 one drop too many (of ok it was a silly bog drop where I over cooked it and landed flat rather than on the slope) killed her.(crack across the frame where the shock mount is attached)

Shucks.. Orange were great they had a look at it and said I could have a new frame with discount - it was well outside warranty and well abused.
Thank you Orange ( I have pictures somewhere.... if only I could be bothered to find them!)
