7 1/2 miles from Burnley . I just wondered which village had the cobbled roads and hills.

A mate of mine ran an Orange dealership back then - he had one which we used to ride around on...

Plenty of those around Burnley and the North West in general!

Orange are based in west Halifax so I'd say Todmoden way.

@ColinJ or @Littgull or @Svendo might have a bit more local knowledge of the places in the video....

My faith in you was well founded

I still have a 1995 Orange Clockwork, ( which the guys in the lbs used to call a tangerine, as I'm a short ar3s )I love it, still ride it and will never sell it.

I also noticed that Guy Martin rides Orange bikes when I've seen him on the IOM and I think he was riding one of their road/cx bikes on a couple of his tv programs...

They're a lot of money for a distinctly average paper specification.

Ah yes, I have read about Orange bikes but I don't think I have ever seen one. seem like decent bikes and a decent company.

He mentions them and Hope quite a bit in his latest book. He must be sponsored by them or something.

[biggs682]

They're probably selling the name on the frame rather than the spec... I'm tempted.
