    Bent top tube = 2007 onwards

    Can you get the frame number? it may help date the frame

    Valuation threads aren't really allowed on here, have a look on ebay and other places for help to what it may sell for

    But what is he offering you, just the frame? frame & shock?...

    same frame just different spec when sold.

  • Mine's a early 2008 and looks the same as that, late 2008 they altered the front of the swing arm and downtube cable guides, then 2009 altered angles and added a gusset under the head tube, 2010 stayed the same, 2011 has tapered headtube amongst other things.

    Those cranks were standard on the 08 Pro, but you can spec pretty much what you want with Orange.

    Ask for the serial, of both the swingarm and front end - then phone Orange. They will tell you the year of both, and if they were sold as a pair originally.
