Everything on this bike is the work horse in its component category. This bike is no nonsense, ultra reliable and probably a blast to ride. If i were building a bike up from scratch, this would be a great model to follow.

Hi Daniel,
Thanks for your comment. Basically I was not suppose to build a DH bike for 2014. When i heard that Orange would stop 322 production, I bought the last one available in france (hopefully good since, good colour, good shock). It was supposed to be build slowly with brand new high range components (Shimano saint, thomson stem, Tuned fork, etc) but finally i could not keep having this beauty in the box so i decided to build it as fast as possible, with used components (except frame, shock & bar, everything is used but in perfect condition). That's why i choose mid-range components which work great. In the end, this bike did not cost me that much compare to what you can found on the market.
I used to ride an Orange 224 before this 322. The 224 was great, but this one is sick ! I'm saying that considering my really low riding skills ;-)
By the way, happy you like my bike (I have a few others Orange bike, check my others bikes)
Cheers
