Orange Bikes - the story of Britain’s most iconic bike brand

The news of Orange Bikes going into administration has taken most of us by surprise. It appears as though no brand is safe as the global bike industry continues its downward spiral thanks, in part, to the UK's unique economic and political factors, plus the global COVID-19 fallout, which led to...

Phew thought it was the guitar amps for a second
 
That's a shame, they probably employ quite a few people in Halifax.

The bike industry had such a boost during lockdown, little-used second hand bikes are now plentiful and that can't be helping new sales.
 
shame that, just down the road from me, see one of the staff walking to work with an orange branded hoodie on every morning when I am out with the dog, thought I hadn't seen her for a few days.
 
A huge shame. Great mountain bike history in the UK. In the early 90s they were one of the very few bikes to "have". Often fitted with PACE RC35 forks (another great UK firm based in Yorkshire) a good proportion of the 1200 competitors in the twice yearly 2 day Polaris Challenge rode Orange Clockworks or the Alluminium O series.
 
PACE are still operating. The real gem of MTB world back in the 90s was the RC series of square tubed PACE frames. They were superb.
