hi all, this is my patriot frame which i beleive is a 2004 model, but all the other 2004 models i have seen only have 1 rear shock position where mine has 4 holes for 2 different positions.
i have searched the net for a answer, can anyone shed any light on this for me please as to which model it is ?

I'd guess 2004, pretty sure it isn't '05. My mate has an 04 and it looks well like yours. Compare this as well..

was hoping its was a super rare model but find out its a 2003 model ! haha.
but it was origionally a patriot xc which is what i rebuilt the bike to be.

if you look on the frame under the bottom bracket there is a number, if you call Orange and give them the number they can tell you everything about your bike, when it was made, what shop it was originally delivered to and when they delivered it.

I had a 2003 - used to run it for a while with a triple but it was rubbish for xc due to the downhill wheels and forks - nice downhill though! I kind of miss it but dont tell my heckler!
